How does one balance the ethics and values of being a journalist with the demands of personality and transparency required by social media? That was the question we tackled last week at an ONA Seattle panel discussion titled “You are what you tweet.” It was run in conjunction with the #wjchat weekly series run by USC professor Robert Hernandez and held at the Seattle Times.
The key takeaway, at least from my perspective, was that journalists must jump in and get involved with social media, while bringing the values from old media to new. Kirk Lapointe, managing editor of the Vancouver Sun and author of themediamanager.com, and Nancy Leeson, food writer/blogger at The Seattle Times, offered keen observations as well. And the discussion was astutely moderated by seattletimes.com producer Tiffany Campbell.

I must show appreciation to you just for bailing me out of this type of issue. After scouting throughout the world wide web and coming across suggestions which were not powerful, I figured my life was gone. Existing without the solutions to the problems you’ve solved as a result of the article content is a critical case, as well as ones that would have badly affected my career if I hadn’t come across your blog post. Your good ability and kindness in playing with almost everything was very helpful. I’m not sure what I would’ve done if I hadn’t encountered such a step like this. It’s possible to at this time look forward to my future. Thank you so much for your expert and result oriented help.
