(Nov. 1)
This week, in preparation for your movie project, we’ll take a look at the expectations for a socially responsible press (and, by extension, other mass media), and examine some codes of ethics.Please Read:
• The Hutchins Commission, which examines what truth means in society, and how to define a socially responsible press.
• Ethics: Society of Professional Journalists Code of Ethics. These are the rules that journalists arrived at themselves, to govern how they do their job. The Public Relations Society of America has a code of ethics, too. Are you surprised?
• 9 Journalistic Principles: An expansion by some prominent journalists on what ethics mean on the job.
• Review for Exam 2: All materials from Weeks 6, 7, 8, 9 & 10 (Folkerts Chs. 4, 5, 6 & 7)
• COMING ATTRACTIONS: I’ll be sending you the second exam at the end of this week. Between now and then, go to the movie project and start thinking about what movie about journalism you want to analyze. You need to tell Dr. Ted what movie you want (and why?), and then focus on having this project done by Nov. 29.
• Blogtalk: Weekly comment on the readings, the WORD, or events about the mass media or the press.
• Exam 2
