Digital Journalism Ethics


How are social media reshaping news values? Is disclosure more realistic than objectivity? Is privacy possible? These and other ethical questions were the focus of the Executive Roundtable on Digital Journalism Ethics, convened in December 2011 at Santa Clara University by the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics and the Online News Association. The event brought together a high-level cross-section of executives, mid-level decision makers, and trainers/educators to discuss the core dilemmas in the developing world of digital journalism.
