The Washington News Council (WNC) is an independent, nonprofit, statewide organization whose members share a common belief that fair, accurate and balanced news media are vital to our democracy. Peter joined the WNC and took the TAO pledge. The pledge is a promise to maintain a high standard of transparency, accountability and openness in journalism – through whatever media platform.

The WNC holds the news media publicly accountable for their performance, just as the media hold other institutions in our society publicly accountable.
