Should bloggers be held to ethical standards?
This is a question that has been kicked around quietly, and now it is the focus of the August Security Roundtable. We are recording on Tuesday (pondering using a live-feed) and I want your feedback.
Show Prep Outline
Blurring the lines: blogging, ethics and journalistic integrity
The impact of social media on how ideas and information are shared, and the responsibility of those who create it.
I’m driving at a few things:
1 - social media is here, and it has changed the game (ask the newspapers)
2 - used to be “if it is printed, it must be true;” seems to have migrated to “if it is on the internet, it must be true”
3- journalists have (supposedly) integrity and editors. What about bloggers?
4 - are sites with editors better?
5 - what are the lines, and does the “system” have a way of repressing the bad and sifting the good to the top?
As the popularity and quality of a blogging/social media outlet improves, do the requirements change? Should superstars be role models? What about bloggers with a following?
So whether you blog, podcast/netcast or read blogs - what do you expect from your bloggers? Got a comment? Idea? Question? Send it me michael [@ SHIFT-2] securitycatalyst [period] com. Call and leave me a message or join the conversation in the security catalyst community:
