I just discovered that Jeremy Iggers has an ethics column

in the Strib: Everyday Ethics. That's what happens when you cancel your subscription - you miss positive developments.

From the index page:
More about Jeremy Iggers...

Jeremy Iggers is - as far as we know - the world's only restaurant critic with a Ph.D in philosophy. In his other life, Iggers has taught courses in ethics and media ethics at several universities, conducted "philo cafe" conversations at a local bar and written a book on journalism ethics. He has a B.A. in philosophy from Carleton College and a Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of Minnesota.

At least it looks like a positive development. See if you can see why I like this article: Charities' gifts do affect giving. (Hint: extended quote of ARI's David Holcberg. Although, that is the article that caused such a firestorm and, rightly, necessitated a clarifying statment from ARI.)
