How Framing Shapes What You Believe
September 15, 2026
What does it mean to practice ethical journalism in an era of AI, misinformation, and declining public trust? In this episode of Humanity in Journalism, host Jessica Wiederhorn sits down with Dr. Dan Axelrod, chair of the Society of Professional Journalists Ethics Committee and co-chair of the subcommittee that just revised the SPJ Code of Ethics for the first time since 2014. They explore what changed in the updated code, why ethics applies to opinion journalism just as much as straight reporting, and what the data from more than 9,000 articles analyzed through ReporterLens consistently shows: when ethics is present, excellence follows.

In this episode, we sit down with Danny Klein, VP Editorial Director of WTWH Media’s Food, Retail & Hospitality brands - the names behind QSR, FSR, CStore Decisions, PMQ, and Club + Resort magazines.
Danny has spent a decade shaping how some of the most influential trade stories in the restaurant and hospitality industry get told. Today, we’re talking about framing - the editorial decisions that determine not just what gets covered, but how it lands, and what gets left out. It’s a conversation about craft, accountability, and what it really means to present information fairly in a fast-moving trade media environment.
