Journalists Flee Utah Newspaper Overtaken by PR

Interesting tidbit posted on PrWatch.org, a division of the Center for Media and Democracy. As the post explains, several journalists are quitting their jobs at the Deseret News in Utah because of an article published on the front page of the paper written by the head of the Latter Day Saints PR department. It has also come to light that the paper is owned by a subsidiary of a for profit company that is owned by the LDS.
I thought this was a timely piece, especially as we discuss PR ethics today, and the the PRSA guidelines regarding disclosure of information.
