To tell you the truth: Why we need ethics in the age of open information

Aidan White is a long time campaigner for the rights of journalists. He created the Ethical Journalism Network and was the General Secretary of the International Federation of Journalists from 1987 until April 2011. At TEDxTirana Aidan talked about the importance of ethics in journalism and how the new era of developments in technology has challenged this.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations.
