journalism fall semester final 2023: journalism ethics
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Journalist | The reporters, editors, photographers, producers, and camera crews that sift through the many happenings of a day to tell the public what's important or interesting. |
Accuracy | Getting all of the facts right and always seeking the truth |
Alternative Facts vs. Facts | We need to be very careful of the phrase "alternative Facts" and "fake news". There are multiple perspectives, but facts are facts. Just because you don't like the news doesn't mean it's fake. |
On the record | The source understands that his or her name will be published |
Credibility | Having the reputation of being right |
Ethics | Moral principles that govern the appropriate conduct for individuals and organizations |
Conflict of Interest | When journalists report on something they are personally involved with or in. |
Primary source | Sources who are directly involved in the issue being reported on |
Secondary source | Sources who are connected and knowledgeable but not directly involved. |
Bias | To report a story without being objective. To take a side, instead of showing balance. |
Objective | To keep an open mind and report both sides of an issue. |
Fabrication | Making up quotes and details to create a story more exciting or interesting, writing a story that didn't happen. |
Impartial | Being objective, putting aside personal opinions, and not accepting gifts, meals, trips, or anything else that could be seen as seeking to influence the news. |
