Committee of Concerned Journalists new member Thomas R. Cutler Founder of Manufacturing Media Consortium
Thomas R. Cutler, the nation's leading manufacturing journalist, has joined The Committee of Concerned Journalists is a consortium of reporters, editors, producers, publishers, owners and academics worried about the future of the profession.
To secure journalism's future, the group believes that journalists from all media, geography, rank and generation must be clear about what sets our profession apart from other endeavors. To accomplish this, the group is creating a national conversation among journalists about principles.
Three Goals have been identified:
To clarify and renew journalists' faith in the core principles and function in journalism.
To create a better understanding of those principles by the public.
To engage and inform ownership and management of these principles and their financial as well as social value.
