Journalistic integrity can be difficult when you have to cover a controversial and public figure. Dave Dale, Echo’s Content Director, and Bay Today journalist Stu Campaigne talk about their decision to cover the Sheldon Forgette case in Echo Essentials, Bay Today and on Dave’s podcast Small Town Times.

Both Dave and Stu talk about trying to cover the case ethically and without bias and waiting for a verdict in the case before passing judgment.

  • Dave talks about covering the story on Echo Essentials 2:00
  • Stu joins the show and describes covering the case as a journalist 11:50
  • How to cover a political person going into a court case 18:00
