Ceppos' column on media bias provokes response
09-21-2009
Reynolds School Dean Jerry Ceppos speaks to a freshman journalism class.
After a Pew Research Center national survey indicated a high percentage of U.S. media consumers feel news media are biased, Reynolds School Dean Jerry Ceppos wrote a column for the San Jose Mercury News.
In the column, Ceppos argued that, with newspapers in decline, "it's way past time to listen to our critics — and, as my sixth-grade teacher used to say, to listen actively."
Ceppos' column was cited in Andrew Alexander's blog at The Washington Post Web site on Sept. 21.
