Book excerpt: Goodwin reports that journalists are "groping for standards"--primarily in the form of codes of ethics--and they disagree substantially on most every issue. The book is based on a survey of the literature in the field, interviews with some 150 journalists and media watchers, and his own experience both as a journalist with The Associated Press, Baltimore Sun, and Washington Star.
