"We're bringing together some of America's top business journalists, senior corporate ethics officers and leading thinkers from the corporate social responsibility community for some very lively discussion and debate about media coverage of business ethics issues in the post-Enron environment," said Michael Connor, Publisher and Executive Editor of Business Ethics magazine. "It's going to be a really interesting day."

Founded in 1987, Business Ethics magazine has built a unique brand by focusing on business ethics and corporate social responsibility long before corporate scandals dominated the headlines. It is the only US-based business magazine focusing on ethics and corporate social responsibility in a media landscape otherwise dominated by traditional business publications. Published four times a year with a total distribution to approximately 10,000 readers, it has a unique position and a unique readership of thought leaders in business, investing, academia, government and civil society organizations interested in corporate social responsibility issues. Business Ethics magazine's annual, nationally recognized "100 Best Corporate Citizens" listing will be published in the Spring 2005 issue.
