Don't question ethics

In response to the Union's staff editorial on Tuesday ("Our View: Journalistic Ethics") in the Union newspaper, the Daily Forty-Niner does recycle its newspaper rather than leave it yellowing on the stands. We are a daily, not a "sometimes we publish" publication.

I am sorry to have seen what looks like a garbage bin full of  Forty-Niners -- however, I can't be sure what is actually in the bin other than what's on top.

But let's talk ethics -- the manager of the recycling center is also the business manager for the Union newspaper. What an opportunity to chalk up a few brownie points and snag some advertising since the Union has never been able support itself through advertising sales.

How can the Union run an opinion piece without checking facts and getting comments from the Daily Forty-Niner? Instead they got their information from their business manager.

There's no telling what kind of dirt the Union can dig up now -- using the recycling center as an informant.

You may want to think twice before recycling personnel documents, class syllabi, class rosters or anything. It gives me the creeps to think of someone going through my trash.

And the next time you decide to trash an entire organization because of one incident you may want to consider the adage people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Jamie M. Eggleston is the Daily Forty-Niner production manager.
