Kevin Goldberg had an insightful and ever-necesary presentation this week about the most common mistakes committed by young journalists.
1- Gluttony: Fair use is not an excuse.
2- Greed: There is no reporter’s privilege.
3- Sloth: “To hell with getting it first, get it right.”
4- Lust
5- Pride: Make a clarification if necessary.
6- Envy: Just because its online, does NOT mean its fair use.
7- Wrath: Q: What would a normal person do? A reasonable expectation of privacy.
