Singer, J. & Ashman, I. (2009). 'Comment Is Free, but Facts Are Sacred': User-generated Content and Ethical Constructs at the Guardian. Journal of Mass Media Ethics, 24(1), pp. 3-21. doi: 10.1080/08900520802644345
Abstract
This case study examines how journalists at Britain’s Guardian newspaper and affiliated website are assessing and incorporating user-generated content in their perceptions and practices. A framework of existentialism helps highlight constructs and professional norms of interest. It is one of the first data-driven studies to explore how journalists are negotiating personal and social ethics within a digital network.
