Transcript of #editorchat 6/10
[22:23:44] KakieF: @journik Thanks for your response *smile* #editorchat
[22:23:57] BillHarper: @KakieF When I did journalism, the interviewing, fact-checking, writing all seemed straightforward. [cont] #editorchat
[22:24:04] gmarkham: @LydiaBreakfast Just about the only time to publish rumour is to confirm it or refute it. #editorchat
[22:24:22] KakieF: for those blogger journalists, suggestions for getting people to your sites? (sheer curiosity) #editorchat
[22:24:50] BillHarper: @KakieF But when it came to journalism ethics, it really bent my noodle. And I think that’s what some “journalism” lacks. #editorchat
[22:25:37] KakieF: @BillHarper Fascinating point. Tell me more? #editorchat
[22:26:05] TimOBrienNYT: I don’t agree. RT @bacigalupe @JDEbberly @retheauditors An interesting rumor from a reliable source is a great story for me. #editorchat
[22:27:23] suzanneyada: @journik By definition only, but we volunteer blood sweat & tears at @thepublicpress for professional-QUALITY journalism #editorchat
[22:27:58] retheauditors: #editorchat @suzanneyada @KakieF I agree. Getting paid not a prereq of professional. About vocation, responsibility to public ,standards.
[22:28:09] MTTRadio: RT @anndouglas: RT @MsBeat It’s a lot easier 2lose credibility than it is to gain it. Keep that in mind when treading in rumors. #editorchat
[22:28:51] KakieF: Some of my stories have been amazing because I have written on topics behind which I have a great deal of passion #editorchat
[22:29:03] suzanneyada: I don’t think this is 100% accurate. RT @jdebberly @retheauditors: Journalism is applying professionalism to reporting (contd) #editorchat
[22:29:40] kbeninato: @TimOBrienNYT I’ve passed on two single sourced stories that would have destroyed careers. Probably why I now write features. #editorchat
[22:29:47] BillHarper: @TimOBrienNYT I’m with you Tim. In my opinion, that rumour is a great *start*, but needs more facts to make it a complete story. #editorchat
[22:30:13] suzanneyada: Journalism’s definition is much broader than a word like professionalism can contain. That’s just 1 form of journalism. #editorchat
[22:30:15] KakieF: Someone tell me something more about journalistic ethics, when do they challenge you? #editorchat
[22:30:39] rightinvention: RT @MTTRadio RT @anndouglas: RT @MsBeat It’s a lot easier 2lose credibility than it is to gain it. Mind when treading in rumors. #editorchat
