Annual news media ethics discussion of real-life stories
PLATTSBURGH - The Center for Communication and Journalism at Plattsburgh State will host its annual "Ethics in the News Media" panel discussion from 1:30 to 2:45 p.m. Tuesday, May 1, in Ward Hall, room 110. This is the fourth year for this annual spring event.
Panelists include Bob Grady, editor in chief of the Press-Republican; Lois Clermont, news editor of the Press-Republican; Stephanie Gorin, anchor for WPTZ, the local NBC-affiliate; Thom Hallock, anchor for WPTZ; Ryan Hutchins, managing editor of Cardinal Points; and professors from the Center for Communication and Journalism at PSUC.
The discussion will be moderated by Shawn Murphy, associate professor of journalism, and Jonathan Slater, associate professor of communication.
The discussion will focus on real-life local stories that the media have covered during the past year, which merited some situational ethical discussion, and perhaps debate, in their respected newsrooms.
The event, which is free and open to the public, will also include questions and comments from the audience.
For more information, contact Shawn Murphy at (518) 564-2422 or via e-mail at shawn.murphy@plattsburgh.edu.

Cold temperature cause of death for U. Arizona student
(U-WIRE) TUCSON, Ariz. - University of Arizona student Ian Upton, who died March 12, died from exposure to the cold, Bruce Parks said, chief medical examiner with the Pima County Medical Examiner's Office.
Upton, an urban planning senior, had alcohol in his system, which probably contributed to the death, Parks said.
Upton, 21, was found dead in the Rillito riverbed just east of 3750 N. Country Club Road at 8:34 a.m. during spring break.
The cold can kill if internal body temperature drops below 70 degrees, which causes arrhythmia in the heart, Parks said. It is not frequent to see deaths due to cold in Pima County, but cases do occur, Parks said.
