    Integrity Award. J-Source editor-in-chief and chair of the awards

    Journalists were among the first outsiders to rush to the scene of the
    earthquake in Haiti. While most have described the devastation and
    challenges confronting survivors with professionalism and humanity,
    Jeff Sallot writes, some are using the assignment to promote their own
    celebrity.

    There's no way students will read 5000-word articles every week,
    colleagues told Ryerson j-prof Bill Reynolds. But they did, and
    Reynolds learned that despite the various narcotics of the web, he could
    still get students to read long pieces and step back and wonder at the
    world.

    STUDENTS' LOUNGE

    (xx)Flexibility equals success in tough job market(xx)

    explains how.
