WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR NEWS?

AS A CONSUMER OF INFORMATION, DO YOU DISTINGUISH BETWEEN SOURCES? IS THERE A HIERARCHY OF TRUST? IS A REPORTER ALWAYS MORE ACCURATE THAN A BLOGGER?

#SXSW #BlogEthics

CONVERSATION STARTERS

WHAT MAKES A JOURNALIST MORE TRUSTWORTHY THAN SOMEONE ELSE? HOW MUCH WEIGHT DO TRAINING, EDUCATION, AND A PAYCHECK CARRY?

WHEN A BLOGGER IS PAID, DO THEY BECOME LESS CREDIBLE? DOES THE SAME STANDARD HOLD TRUE FOR JOURNALISTS?

CONVERSATION STARTERS

SHOULD BLOGGERS BE MADE TO FOLLOW THE SAME ETHICAL CODES AS JOURNALISTS, DESPITE BEING FREE AGENTS? WHAT WOULD THAT ENTAIL? ARE FTC GUIDELINES ENOUGH?

WHAT MAKES SOMEONE CREDIBLE? IS IT AS SIMPLE AS TRANSPARENCY = HONESTY? OR DOES AN ESTABLISHED REPUTATION MEAN MORE TO CREDIBILITY?

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT CITIZEN JOURNALISM?

ARE SITES LIKE REDDIT FURTHERING THE CONVERSATION AND HELPING JOURNALISTS? DOES THE POTENTAIL FOR SPREADING MISINFORMATION NEGATE THE POSSIBLE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE MEDIA?
