Digital Journalism Ethics

How are social media reshaping news values? Is disclosure more realistic than objectivity? Is privacy possible? These and other ethical questions have been the focus of several programs hosted by the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics. Materials from those events and other resources on digital journalism ethics are available here.
