Upholding journalism standards and ethics

Log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!

Reputable news sources adhere to a combination of age-old and modern-day standards, which are much more stringent than the social media community standards many are familiar with. How does a news source show that it has standards it follows and why does that matter? How do you differentiate between good and bad, reliable and unreliable information sources? This session will explore how to look for signs that your news sources are practicing journalism standards, and how that impacts the information they share.
