Industry Vet John Harrington: Ethical Journalism Is More Valuable Than Ever

Mr. Magazine’s ACT 7, held for publishers, channel partners, and students at Ole Miss, has been over for several weeks, but I’m still reflecting on all the things I heard and learned there. And one these reflections centers on the thoughts of another of our industry’s icons, John Harrington. Over many decades and many roles in the magazine publishing business, John was a vital part of all of our gatherings and events, and his reflections were always thought-provoking and weighty; and although he is now retired, it’s appropriate that he should still take the time to share his perceptions and conclusions with the rest of us.
