City Club, is co-sponsored by the Society of Professional Journalists, Cleveland Pro Chapter, with help from the League of Women Voters. The program brings together Richard Condit of the Government Accountability Project, with the Cuyahoga County Code of Ethics Workgroup of the county's Transition Advisory Group. They will discuss how the proposed Code of Ethics was developed and how its whistleblower protections will help our new Cuyahoga County government govern ethically. 


The program brings together advisors, advocates, journalists, and government officials for an objective look at how Cuyahoga County can overcome its former governmental corruption and go forward on the straight path with perseverance. The program is collaboration at its best, and that alone gives us hope. 


Join us for this program on ethics that is not exactly about journalism, but whose content is close to every caring journalist's heart.

The next board meeting of the Cleveland Pro Chapter will be a combined meeting with the John Carroll University campus chapter, to plan the program for our upcoming photography contest. The meeting will be on Wednesday, Jan. 19 at 6 p.m. in Room 47 of the O'Malley Building on the John Carroll  campus. The address of the University is 20700 North Park Blvd., University Heights, Ohio 44118.  

Check out the campus map. Park along the road up the left side of campus, before the O'Malley Center (at the building itself, it becomes faculty/staff only). At 6 p.m. there should be spots fairly close to the building. If you look at the parking map that's at the same link as the campus map, there's a large yellow patch along the right side. There should also be a simlarly shaped yellow patch along the left. Not sure why it's not there but visitors can currently park there.   

Please forward agenda items to Pro chapter president Claudia Taller.  Already on the agenda are the holiday party (Jerry Masek will join us) and programming.

The Society of Professional Journalists works to improve and protect journalism. SPJ is dedicated to encouraging the free practice of journalism and stimulating high standards of ethical behavior. Founded in 1909 as Sigma Delta Chi and based in Indianapolis, SPJ promotes the free flow of information vital to a well-informed public, works to inspire and educate the next generation of journalists, and protects First Amendment guarantees of freedom of speech and of the press.

Achieving an Ethical Culture
Media coverage welcome
at Monday's County

Code of Ethics event

A reminder to all journalists covering the new county government, that media will be welcome at SPJ Cleveland's program on Monday, Jan. 10 at noon at the City Club, 850 Euclid Ave., second floor in the Pogue Room. The event will focus on the proposed Code of Ethics for the new Cuyahoga County government, now before the council and one of its first priorities. We currently have four council members signed up to attend (Greenspan, Miller, Germana and Conwell) and there may be more by Monday.

Speakers will explain key provisions of the proposed Code of Ethics, including some of the country's most progressive whistleblower protections. Our main speaker will be Richard Condit, senior counsel to the Government Accountability Project in Washington, D.C., which has lobbied for and helped to design effective whistleblower protections at all levels of government, and defended people whose decision to "blow the whistle" about government wrongdoing got them in trouble. Much of the project's work involves "protecting and advocating for various types of government employees across the country," according to the organization's website (link above).

The program will also feature members of the Code of Ethics Workgroup, appointed by the Transition Advisory Group for Cuyahoga County. This group worked through the spring and summer of 2010 to collect best practices from counties around the country and pull together a Code of Ethics that can help Cuyahoga County turn over a new leaf. 

We are also expecting good attendance from the League of Women Voters, who strongly support this code and were instrumental in drawing it up. They are very knowledgable, neutral observers of county government, who will make excellent sources for any stories coming out of this event.  

Although the registration deadline for this event has passed, media covering the event can show up unannounced. We are expecting you!!!

If you're not able to come yourself, please make sure your assignment editor knows about this event! Forward this e-mail to them - there's a simple link for that purpose.

Interested in learning more about the proposed Code of Ethics? You can read it in its entirety by clicking on "Proposed Code of Ethics Draft Recommendations" at  this website.

For more information, contact Carrie Buchanan at  spjcleveland@me.com or 216-338-3286 (cellular).

Even as many newsrooms have been downsized or shut down, Patch is investing millions to create a nationwide network of news sites using our dynamic platform to produce meaningful daily and enterprise journalism and pioneer new forms of storytelling to serve communities. We have won acclaim in the industry and coverage in The New York Times, Forbes Magazine, Bloomberg, NPR's "Talk of the Nation," "The News Hour with Jim Lehrer," CBS News, and numerous industry blogs and Web sites.
