Abstract
One challenge for LDS journalists is finding a way to combine gospel principles with the mission of journalism to; according to the Society of Professional Journalists Code of Ethics, seek truth, “promote the flow of information,” and “stimulate high standards and ethical behavior in the practice of journalism.” Contemporary journalism has done a good job of seeking truth and promoting information flow, but has endured one scandal after another in which journalists have violated ethical standards.
