The University of Central Oklahoma‘s upcoming “annual Media Ethics Conference” will focus on “sports, politics and news” reporting, according to a press release on the university’s website.

The university’s Yvette Walker,  the “Edith Gaylord Kinney Endowed Chair for Journalism Ethics,” is quoted as saying:

“The 24/7 focus on sports and political news, and how we respond to it, is a critical one for media professionals today – especially with the presidential elections mere weeks away, and with football and, later, basketball season upon us.”
