Peggy Wehmeyer was network television’s first religion correspondent. In seven years on ABC’s World News Tonight with Peter Jennings, Peggy covered presidents, prisoners, and news makers of every faith. Her work drew honors and accolades. To avoid bias, she worked hard to present all sides and pierce to the truth. Truth is a driving word for Peggy. Growing up in a messy family life with several stepparents, in a world with many fabrications and lies, Peggy longed for faith and for truth. As an adult, her passion found its outlet in journalism . . . and a remarkable career began.

Ethics is about knowing and doing what is good or right, and workplace ethics is about knowing and doing what is good or right at work. For the Christian, this means applying the Bible and other resources of the Christian faith to help decide and do what is ethical or moral at work.
