* THE KEEPERS of Canadian
‘ jourtialism'’s consciénce. —

whose local watchdog has

’ probed the ‘North Shore
News twice since last fall —

tors in respect of complaints
lodged against its controver-
sial columnist Doug Collins.

At a November 1984 hear-
ing the Council dismissed the

‘entire complaint:

At the second hearing last
month the Council absolved

Collins and The News of in-
tentionally inciting racial
hatred but upheld parts of
the complaint relating to
journalistic research and the
handling of letters to the
editor. .
