Editing Dr. Jim Sernoe Personnel Management Case Studies - 1 You are the chief editor of the Swelltown Sentinel. All employees, within one month of hire, must sign a statement saying they have read, understand and agree to abide by the Employee Handbook, which gives rules and regulations. Two clauses from the handbook: The Sentinel is seen by its readers and the community as espousing the values of good journalism, including, but not limited to, objectivity, fairness, sensitivity, accuracy and open-mindedness. As such, employees are discouraged from joining political or other high-profile groups that could jeopardize that image. While we cannot legally bar employees from these activities, we believe such activism gives the community the sense of a biased newspaper. If involvement in such groups leads the Sentinel to disfavor among its readers, sources, advertisers or the community in general, the employee will be asked to curtail such activity. If such activity continues, the employee will be subject to disciplinary action, including, but not limited to: reassignment, suspension with pay, probation without pay and dismissal. The Sentinel, like any news organization, holds a highly visible position within its community. The conduct of its employees, during work times and in their personal lives, affects our standing in the community. As such, employees are discouraged from participating in activities that, while legal, could embarrass the newspaper or jeopardize our image. While we cannot legally bar employees from these activities, any illegal behavior could become cause for immediate dismissal. If involvement in such activities leads the Sentinel to disfavor among its readers, sources, advertisers or the community in general, the employee will be asked to curtail such activity. If such activity continues, the employee will be subject to disciplinary action, including, but not limited to: reassignment, suspension with pay, probation without pay and dismissal.
