Why Journalism Professors Should Teach Accuracy Checklists by Steve Buttry.
Steve Buttry calls for more actionable advice for journalists in a robust post which surveys the ongoing conversation around ethics in journalism.
In a follow-up post, he published a response from AP's Tom Kent, who will be working with ONA on a new ethics initiative.
Kent writes:
We’re talking about creating a set of “building blocks” that would let any journalistic organization (or individual blogger) create an ethics code that is thorough and transparent, while reflecting how that organization or blogger sees journalism...
We hope these building blocks will define some of the questions a news organization needs to ask. And if we can attract enough interest, we hope to offer “factors to consider”: short essays, with examples, on the various sides of each question to help people decide what values feel right to them.

Chances are, you’re not an editor, but if you’re looking for a job in digital media or journalism, you can infer some great advice from this article and find more resources geared toward job seekers.
P.S. Having a LinkedIn profile can show ANY employer that you’re serious about getting a job.
Your staff needs to understand that getting-it-first and getting-it-right are not conflicting choices but essential dual priorities. If you don’t have it right, you don’t have it first – you don’t have it at all.

Aquesta setmana he llegit les idees que la Sílvia Cobo ha compartit en el seu blog coincidint amb el sisè aniversari del debut de Lolacomomola. En un d'aquests deu punts, la Sílvia diu que no importa tant quanta gent llegeix el teu blog, sinó qui llegeix el teu blog. En aquest sentit, assegura que la "qualitat de les relacions" són les que determinen la influència real del que publiquem. La seva visió, coincideix amb la de Steve Buttry, que fa una lectura semblant per determinar la qualitat del periodisme. Buttry explica que l'efecte dels canvis en l'ecosistema dels mitjans no ha provocat una disminució de la qualitat de les notícies als Estats Units. De fet, considera que hi ha petites redaccions que fan productes de qualitat.
Buttry is Digital Transformation Editor for Digital First Media, the company that operates the newspaper and television properties of both Journal Register Company and MediaNews Group. A veteran newspaper journalist who has embraced the new order of digital media, he knows a lot and shares a lot. The students and staff (very few faculty, unfortunately) at CU's journalism program benefited from five hours with the man.
"On campuses everywhere, students have made the news-consumption transition swiftly, learning about their world on smartphones, tablets and laptop computers. The choice for student media is simple: Slide into irrelevancy even faster than professional media that fail to adapt, or race into the digital future and help show them the way."
