THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 3:
I've come to realize that the looseness of the journalistic life, the seeming laxity of the newsroom, is an illusion. Yes, there's informality and there's humor, but beneath the surface lies something deadly serious. It is a code. Sometimes the code is not even written down, but it is deeply believed in. And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.

Zorn, who worked for the city's Department of Public Works, had several images where he'd used a computer to superimpose the faces of his fiancee's young children onto images of naked young girls, police alleged.
