The executive producer of KTLA-TV's "Morning News" says there was no breach of journalistic ethics when three of his anchors accepted free rooms the night before broadcasting live at the Ritz-Carlton Huntington Hotel & Spa in Pasadena. The team from KTLA -- a Tribune station -- stayed in rooms that generally cost $300 to $400, and never told viewers about their free stays.
