Media Ethics Assignment

I went to Ethics in Broadcast Journalism workshop one September 26, 2013. Some of what was discussed in this workshop was breaking news, do you choose speed over accuracy, difference between broadcasting journalism and print journalism and other interesting topics.

There wasn’t much talk on the subject in blogging media; however there was talk on other social media. One example was tweeting on twitter and if something just happen to be on the news one would tweet that incident letting the viewer’s know what has happen. They would also tweet that later information as it comes in would be tweeted, tweet a link to stations website, and mention watch the six o’clock news to check up on the incident that has happened. There are different ways one could follow up on a story.

I think that posting anything news related or other using a blog would be another way to reach out to those who use blog, but don’t use another media source.

The strongest part in this workshop was focusing on past news coverage and how one could change the ethical part when they are the one covering a story rather in broadcasting, print or other. I didn’t catch a weakest part. Overall the workshop was very informational.
