Ethics in Journalism Ms. Dombrow

So, is there a definitive right and wrong? Ethics “a system of moral principals” Dictionary.com Ethics is knowing “right” from “wrong” Problem: we all have different morals and values So, is there a definitive right and wrong?

Integrity “adherence to moral and ethical principles” Dictionary.com The public places their trust in journalists, who must in turn act with integrity

What does integrity look like? Impartiality/Unbiased: being objective, putting aside personal opinions, not accepting gifts that can influence you and your story Accuracy: getting all the facts right and always seeking the truth Credibility: having a reputation for being right that occurs when a journalist is consistently accurate

What not to do… Fabrication: includes making up quotes and details to make your story more interesting If this is tempting to you, become a fiction writer- not a journalist! Plagiarism: copying the work of others (or parts of a work) and passing it off as your own.

Sensationalism The use of exciting or shocking stories or language at the expense of accuracy, in order to provoke public interest or excitement. Oxford Dictionary

Stephen Glass Stephen Randall Glass is a former U.S. journalist who achieved notoriety in 1998 when it was revealed that as much as half of his published articles were fabrications. Over a three- year period as a young rising star at The New Republic from 1995 to 1998, Glass invented quotations, sources, and even entire events in articles he wrote for that magazine and others. Wikipedia.com

Shattered Glass How are fabrication and plagiarism different? Why might journalists fabricate? What mistakes might journalists make on “accident” that cause them to fabricate?
