Panel to Discuss Ethics and Media

O.J. Simpson and the media coverage of his civil trial will be the subject of the next meeting of the Ethics and Values Colloquium at Cal State Northridge. The panel will meet on Thursday, March 20 from 3:30 - 5:30 p.m. in Zelzah Court Room 1510, located on the east side of the campus.

Johnie Scott, professor of Pan-African Studies, will give a lecture examining the media's treatment of the Simpson civil trial and discuss the ethical merit of the coverage.
