INSIDE ETHICS BLOG: What now for journalism students?

After our Director, Aidan White, took part in a debate on "Media under fire? Lessons from the US Elections" at SOAS on Friday, Giselle Green from Constructive Voices sent us this interesting blog outlining what journalists need to know about constructive journalism. If you have an article that you would like to submit for our Inside Ethics Blog please get in touch.  

Today, I am in Athens to speak at the launch a new Publishing and Journalism Code of Conduct for online media in Greece. For more background on the ethical debates within Greek media you can also read New Ethics in the Era of New Media by Christos T. Panagopoulos the Online Political Editor and Columnist at Newsbomb.gr.
