Connecticut journalists Jackie and Steve Majerus-Collins continue to get high praise from colleagues around the country for their stand on ethics in the field.
An opinion piece in the Missouri based Daily Journal points to decisions made by both reporters to – at different times – leave the Bristol Press.
Jackie left in 2011 after she felt she was being pressured to drop a story she was pursuing about a local hospital. Steve quit last month after he learned about journalistic corner cutting – and worse – involving Michael Schroeder, the paper’s publisher.
