Starting with a rant by one of my favourite ‘hot button’ pushers, @Stilgherrian, Laurel Papworth (another who’s blood deserves bottling and saving for future generations) joins in on the ‘Journalists have ethics, bloggers have none and are therefore scum of the earth’ meme that surprisingly STILL resonates around media conferences, despite some of the most ‘followed’ bloggers being ex-journos or current law professors (talking here of Glenn Reynolds).
Let’s compile a compendium of unethical traditional media behavior - not so we can be mean to journalists. No, I quite like them, the little poppets. But so we can respond at conferences and debates and such, when we are told we are rubbish. We nod and say yes - of course we are - everything we ever learned about media we learned from journalists. and What a brilliant example they have set for us all. Particularly their standards and their ethics. And then we list off the incidences that make Media Watch giggle. Heh.
So let’s hop on over to Laurel’s blog and start leaving examples in the comments about journalistic practices that might best be described as “errr… just what are you thinking?”
