notes from the New Media Ethics Forum

Last night, the Minnesota Society of Professional Journalists and Minnesota Public Radio hosted what was billed as “a UBS Forum examing the present state of journalism, the effect of new media on mainstream media (MSM), and ethical issues and quandries created by evolving communication, expectation and collaboration.” I was unable to attend because of prior commitments. but the lovely folks over at Metroblogging Minneapolis live-blogged the entire thing. If you're interested in citizen journalism, take a few minutes to peruse this.

One of the featured panelists, Chuck Olsen of The Uptake, has posted some after-thoughts on how things played out. If you don’t have a passing familiarity with the citizen journalism landscape or are offended by mild cursing, this probably isn't for you, but I’m posting it for those of you who are invested in or interested in the local blogging scene.

Thanks for posting this, Krista. This interests me as I work in media. As stated in the Metroblogging link, "Inarguably, new and social media wouldn't exist without traditional journalism." It was interesting to read the dialog. What I found even more interesting was reading Chuck Olsen's after-thoughts. He seems like a person who openly shares his opinions and rarely holds back. Interesting fella'
