How online media have changed the relationship between media and audiences
Chris Elliott, the interim director of the Ethical Journalism Network, spoke at a panel discussion on content moderation held on May 25, 2018, organized by the Media Institute of Montenegro.
Elliott, who is the former managing editor and readers’ editor of the Guardian, spoke about how online media have changed the relationship between the media and the audience. Sharing his experience from the Guardian Elliott spoke about how media can ethically manage online comment sections and on their social media platforms.
“We also developed 10 guidelines for commenting on the comments posted to the Guardian. This is very important, because, as I said, the point was to create a community and that there are those trends that are very interesting. It worked well and in the best period we had 60-70,000 comments a day, and nine moderators were following these comments.”
Kako su online mediji promijenili odnos između medija i publike
Chris Elliott, privremeni ravnatelj Mreže za etičko novinarstvo, govorio je na panel diskusiji o moderiranju sadržaja održanoj 25. svibnja 2018. u organizaciji Instituta za medije Crne Gore.
Elliott, bivši glavni urednik i urednik časopisa Guardian, govorio je o tome kako su internetski mediji promijenili odnos medija i publike. Razmjenjujući svoje iskustvo iz Guardiana Elliott govorio je o tome kako mediji mogu etički upravljati dijelovima komentara na svojim mrežnim platformama.
“Također smo razvili 10 smjernica za komentiranje komentara upućenih Guardianu. To je vrlo važno, jer, kao što sam rekao, svrha je bila stvoriti zajednicu i da su ti trendovi vrlo zanimljivi. u najboljem razdoblju imali smo 60-70.000 komentara dnevno, a devet moderatora slijedilo je te komentare.”
As part of the project, Chris Elliott penned an article about journalism ethics, sources and reporting on poilitical corruption. The article can be found here: Advancing respect for ethical standards in journalism.

SUPROTSTAVLJANJE MRŽNJI: MEDIJSKA KAMPANJA TOLERANCIJE U NOVINARSTVU
Kod govora mržnje, novinari i urednici se moraju zapitati i odvojiti malo vremena da procijene mogući utjecaj sadržaja uvredljive i zapaljive prirode. Test koji je razvila Mreža etičkog novinarstva, a koji je zasnovan na međunarodnim tandardima, stavlja akcenat na pitanja u vezi s prikupljanjem, pripremanjem i širenjem vijesti i pomaže da se ono što se kaže i onaj ko to kaže stave u etički kontekst.
