Principles for News Consumers

• Skepticism
• Judgment
• Research
• Free thinking
• Techniques

89

• Best place to start
• Worst place to stop

90
Anonymous Speech

• We must preserve anonymity
• Especially when free speech can mean loss of
  liberty, or life
• But, in almost all cases, anonymous speech lacks
  credibility
• If a personal attack is anonymous, assume it is a
  lie

91
Trusting a Community
92
Principles for Journalists

• All of the above (principles for consumers) PLUS
• Thoroughness
• Accuracy
• Fairness
• Independence
• Transparency

93
Summary

• Democratized media here to stay
• Lots of problems
• But great opportunities
• The principles of journalism remain vital
• Tools, techniques, tactics are evolving
