Training Tracks Upholding and Updating Ethical Standards
By Steve Buttry February 12, 2008 08:09 AM
API has received a grant from the Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation to present a heavily subsidized seminar for newsrooms, press associations and journalism organizations. We can present a one-day Upholding and Updating Ethical Standards seminar examining ethical issues relating to innovation. The seminar will discuss ethical issues related to such aspects of digital journalism as online comments and discussions, audio/visual journalism, blogging, accuracy, breaking news coverage, links, databases, revenue generation and transparency. We won't present simple answers, but will lead a discussion of difficult questions and discuss how to apply journalism values to make sound decisions in this ever-changing field. Newsrooms can also choose to host a two-day seminar, which would mix these sessions focusing on innovation with sessions on more traditional ethical issues such as accuracy, confidential sources and attribution. The one-day seminar would cost a $500 fee for associations or newspapers with less than 100,000 daily print circulation and $1,000 for newspapers 100,000 and over. The fee for the two-day seminar would be $1,000 or $1,500. The grant pays transportation costs for the discussion leaders. The host organization pays the meals and lodging as well as seminar costs such as photocopying and providing a conference room. This follows a series of newsroom seminars API presented in 12 newsrooms, also supported by a grant from the Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation. API presented Our Readers Are Watching ethics seminars for The Oregonian, Hickory (NC) Daily Record, Enterprise Publishing in Blair, Neb., The Spokesman-Review in Spokane, Wash., Houston Chronicle, Florida Times-Union in Jacksonville, San Antonio Express-News, Buffalo News, Fresno Bee, Tulsa World, Cleveland Jewish News and Erie (PA) Times-News.
