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?

What fellows have to say about past seminars:
"Vikki was a knowledgeable and extremely accessible source. Her interaction with the fellows added a great deal to the success of the program. She has ensured that we will bring new insights back to our newsrooms... This seminar rivals any executive meeting or conference I've ever attended. From the bios to the seating arrangements - well done. The seminar made it very clear that these huge demographic shifts are not a separate subject matter but affect every other beat."
