A Minnesota SPJ Public Forum
When: Monday, February 25, 2008 | 7:00 p.m.
Where: UBS Forum, Minnesota Public Radio | 480 Cedar Street, St. Paul
What: Professional journalists build credibility through accurate, timely reporting and adherence to clear ethical standards. But how much do the traditional journalistic touchstones of vetting sources and fair and transparent reporting matter at a time when anyone with a cell phone can publish images instantly for the entire world to see?
The Minnesota Society of Professional Journalists and Minnesota Public Radio’s UBS Forum offer an examination of where online journalism is and where it’s going. Host Bob Collins, the creator of MPR’s News Cut blog will be joined by Dan Gillmor, director of the Knight Center for Digital Media Entrepreneurship at Arizona State University’s Walter Cronkite School for Journalism and Mass Communications. The forum also includes a stable of ethics experts, bloggers, editors and reporters to help guide the audience to a better understanding of what’s possible and what’s at stake.
