Tim Giago responds (for last time) to Chuck Trimble on ethics in journalism

This story was filed on November 25, 2009

Tim Giago and Chuck Trimble have had some noteworthy exchanges on journalism and reliance on facts, truth and ethical obligations of using the press as a moral and just means of bringing awareness to a situation. Giago and Trimble are both Lakota men from the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. And they’ve been slugging it out with each other in print. I posted Trimble’s commentson Giago’s journalism ethics. Now I’m posting Giago’s repsponse. It’s the last time Giago said he will respond. We’ll have to wait and see if that’s true. Both men’s columns have been posted on Indianz. com.
