Schild named to Minnesota News Council committee

Dr. Steve Schild, Social Sciences, has been named to the Complaints Committee of the Minnesota News Council. After reviewing complaints from citizens who believe they have been unfairly or inaccurately portrayed in news stories, the committee formulates questions that will be the basis for hearings to determine whether the citizen complaints are upheld or denied.

The news council, one of only two of its kind in the country, seeks to promote high standards in journalism.
