From the Poynter institute: should journalists wave the flag?
But the true measure of journalism’s worth to our democracy will be measured not by our outward displays of patriotism, but by the work we produce. Our contributions to the United States of America– and in many respects the global community beyond our borders–will be gauged not by any ribbons and flags we wear, but by the vigor and rigor we bring to our coverage and our commentary.
