News Ethics and Values in the Digital Age

Why: News values and ethical decision-making remain critical, no matter the platform.

As new formats and concepts emerge, new issues involving ethics and standards develop too. For example: What are your policies on removing offensive anonymous postings? How do you police images that may have been altered? Do you use user content in an effective and important way? How do you correct errors? Should a journalist tell someone that he is taking their picture with a camera phone with the intention of posting it on the Web? Learn to apply your journalism values and ethical know-how to these intriguing new issues, as well as to old issues such as privacy, anonymous sources and tone as redefined by digital media.
