Margaret Sullivan on Evolving Journalism Ethics
Margaret Sullivan, executive director of the Craig Newmark Center for Journalism Ethics and Security at Columbia Journalism School, discusses her new series on the evolution of journalism ethics.
This summer, Sullivan and her colleague Julie Gerstein published a series of essays exploring what a new generation of journalism ethics might look like as the media industry evolves.
“It is conventional wisdom among journalists that while the world around us changes, our ethics do not,”
Sullivan wrote, highlighting the need for a fresh look at journalism standards and practices.
Sullivan joins The Kicker to talk about the evolution of journalism ethics, including transparency, media bias, and the potential return of the public editor role.
