The exciting new page design of this edition is the work of Bill Marsh, who also produced the book’s graphics. Bill did this superb work during crises in world health and US politics, which made his day job at The New York Times particularly demanding. One Times graphic of this period that he helped design, depicting the US death toll of the COVID-19 pandemic, occupied nearly 40 percent of a print edition’s front page.

We are indebted to Dean Marie Hardin of the Bellisario College at Penn State. Along with other support they gave our project, Dean Hardin and Assistant Dean Robert Martin put us in touch with Varshini Chellapilla, who worked as our researcher in the weeks after receiving her degree in journalism from Penn State in May 2020.

We are grateful to Elizabeth H. Hughes, Gabriel Escobar, Danese Kenon and Evan Benn of The Philadelphia Inquirer for the use of its photo archive.

We thank Philip B. Corbett, associate managing editor for standards of The New York Times , for writing the book’s insightful Foreword.

how discussing the case studies in class is crucial to learning the decision-making process; and

how the digital era, in revolutionizing the way the news is gathered and delivered, has made a common language of ethical standards more essential than ever.
