Seminar speeches given by Bill Mitchell:
The Business of Online Journalism
April 17, 2004
Ethical Questions: Journalism in a Brave New World.
What are the ethical issues of online journalism? Is it better to be first with the news or the most accurate? Who decides what is news, when to break it, and how much to double-check the facts? Who sets advertising guidelines and how do you protect the line between news and advertising when everyone sits in the same room?
