The Ethics of Elizabeth Edwards

The World

Elizabeth Edward’s latest round of interviews about her husband’s affair has gotten our friend Randy Cohen thinking: Is she wrong to put her family through this again, just to promote her latest book? (It’s called Resilience, by the way.) Randy Cohen is The Ethicist, columnist for The New York Times Magazine, and the author of the new Moral of the Story blog.

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?

At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
