Project: Poynter/Kent State: Political Coverage Best Practices Guide
A new ethical framework for political coverage
Insults, exaggerations and lies have polluted the 2012 election trail. Participants at the 2012 Poynter Kent State Media Ethics Workshop helped lay the groundwork for a new, crowdsourced ethics guide for political reporting. In-depth, online, public conversations hosted by the JA explore key themes of the 2012 experience. From these, a practical guide in 2013. Join in!
