Tuesday, October 6, 9 - 10:30 The Ethics of Digital Journalism

Fast changing technology means new ways of telling stories and connecting with our audiences, it also means managing ethical questions that arise online. Does your newsroom have online standards consistent with what you would air?  What are your station’s guidelines for bloggers?  How are you confirming the accuracy of information from citizen journalists and how are your treating user comments?  What new issues are you grappling with when using Twitter, Facebook and other social media sites? RTNDA wants you to be ready to face today’s changing newsroom challenges.

Produced by RTNDF and sponsored by the Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation.

Tuesday, October 6, 10:30 - 12:00: How to Make your Website Work for You

What are the features of the most successful news websites?  How are they successful?  This session will teach you how to implement these features on your own website and how to increase traffic in the process.  This session will also explore the Breaking News model - newsrooms tend to run breaking news on TV first, web second, when statistics indicate, especially during the day, that more people come to a website for news than watch it on television.  How do you change this model for newsrooms, make them less reliant on TV and more on the web and mobile technology?

Plus Robert Papper, Hofstra University, will be on hand to discuss RTNDA's latest research on news websites - how we're using them, what staff is working on them, what they feature, are they turning a profit, are they seeing increases in traffic and more.
