Memo: Pro Journalism Ethics Are Changing Completely

From "Journalism ethics 2.0: As the Internet changes the market, some conventions must change as well"
by Robert Niles, from the Knight Digital Media Center OJR (posted: 2009-01-16)..

"The old rule: You can't cover something in which you are personally involved.
The new rule: Tell your readers how you are involved and how that's shaped your reporting."

"The old rule: You must present all sides of a story, being fair to each.
The new rule: Report the truth and debunk the lies."

Clearly, the world is a better place because of Robert Niles! =)
