An open book The evolution of journalism ethics and values in a digital world. Sylvia Stead @sylviastead
Now • Open, transparent relationship with readers/viewers • Reporting depends on anyone with a cellphone camera (example) • More democratic, more fun • Nurture engagement
Impact of technology • Google, video, comments, social media • Still need to verify. Right before first • Greater interactivity/ open about standards, errors • Self-cleaning oven not the full story • Viral audience for errors/ missteps • Curation journalistic: It’s your reputation
Cultures merging • Pop culture, real videos drive clicks • 2 Canadian bad boys • Pack coverage, same stories • But remember your brand on core • Readers/viewers know political bias/ brand • Trust major factor
Canadian standards • Tradition of home deliveries, few tabloids • Libel laws stricter • Community based or national & in values • Very international in scope • Now more opinion based and advocacy
Standards and future • Fairness, balance, transparent • Challenge authority, reality check • Future: right to privacy and disappear • Policy “don’t unpublish”
