Let Me Show You My Vulva

Without truth there is no journalism

"The journalist has a commitment to the citizens, so their primary obligation to seek the truth." "It's very difficult for information to be completely objective, but what is essential is that it is true." "If you lie even if only in the color of the eyes, the value of information and greatly diminished credibility of the journalist."

how are you
Phrases are repeated by the teachers of the degree in journalism, especially during the first year. And that is the first major premise must have the journalist, his pattern to follow is always searching for the truth. However, there are some, like Stephen Glass, who prefer to violate the ethical principles in order to maintain a high reputation in his own writing, even at the risk of making it means you lose that reputation.
case I am talking about happened in 1998. The prestigious U.S. magazine The New Republic fired in May of that year the journalist Stephen Glass after uncovering a huge scandal magnitude. Glass was discovered after committing several cases of journalistic fraud, specifically in 27 of its 41 articles or works, in which the vast majority of the data was the invention of its author.

Article which led to the discovery called Paradise Hacker, involving an alleged teenage hacker, who was hired to work in a large company having entered into their systems by exposing security weaknesses. It is noteworthy that at the time of starting the shooting on digital journalism, was exactly half digital Forbes.com, who uncover the big lie of Stephen Glass, by reporter Adam Penenberg mainly. The case was later made into a film in 2003 with the film The Shattered , starring Hayden Christensen .


The truth is that the case gives a lack of ethics and journalistic standards in spurts. Perhaps most of the responsibility is of course the author of the farce, he should not have the guts to call themselves a journalist. But the fact remains that the magazine fell into a monumental error, not being able to verify the information provided on any occasion Glass. In any case, a profession that in itself is sometimes accused of dishonesty will make much of a dent scandals of this kind, honest dirty work that they do make many other professionals. And is that your lack of veracity, Glass soiled the name and the image of an institution in American journalism.

Madrid Controversy marks the election campaign of 27-M

On Sunday May 27 is celebrated throughout Spain municipal elections, which will be chosen the mayors of the 8,111 municipalities, and in which more than 35 million citizens are called to go to the polls. Also, the voters of all Autonomous Communities except Galicia , Basque Country, Catalonia and Andalucía, must elect top leaders of the region for the next 4 years.

During the election campaign, both Madrid as their capital, have been the greatest presence and have information relevant to the media, something that is not explained solely by the nature of capital, but also by the controversies that have arisen between the candidates (mainly PP and PSOE ) during the various pre-election events.
Especially
acid has been confrontation between the popular candidate for mayor, Alberto Ruiz Gallardon , and its namesake socialist Miguel Sebastian. In a televised debate TVE, which also involved the United Left candidate , Ángel Pérez, Sebastián Gallardón questioned about his alleged involvement in the Malaya case , the while showing a photograph of the lawyer Montserrat Corulla to , who allegedly the current mayor of Madrid has or has had any relationship. Gallardón was annoyed by the question was considered an intrusion into his private life and chose not to answer.


Apart from the controversy, in this election campaign has highlighted the use of blogs by the candidates, in showing some of his proposals or even the future of campaign. Gallardón himself has a blog on ABC in which pro includes its electoral program, but not alone. The same paper contains the blogs of both presidential candidates in the Castile-La Mancha for PP and PSOE, María Dolores de Cospedal and José María Barreda respectively, as candidate for mayor of Toledo, José Manuel Molina and Emiliano García-Page . Miguel Sebastián also featured blog in this journal, but has been deleted after the controversy mentioned above. Either way, the socialist candidate has his own blog .


However, despite that it has taken enough time and space in the media, not only from Madrid live this election. The rest of Autonomous Communities, other than above mentioned, and municipalities are involved in the vortex pre-election and so the media have the task of gathering extensive information on it in special within their digital editions.

Wording For Front Of Son Engagement Card

Rethinking the role of the press Congress

The "boom" of journalism on the Internet or Web journalism has made the press has become a little outdated, if already their value as a current provider information was not sufficiently minimized after the advent of radio and television. In other words, people no longer so interested in reading the information from newspapers, preferring to use other types of services it offers as hobbies, weather, horoscopes, lottery, supplements, etc.. -Though also Digital Editions account with them, because it has at its disposal other systems to be aware of what happens every minute, without having to wait 24 hours to open the kiosk.

This is a logical consequence of the immense possibilities that Internet offers the reporter for this communicate today. Just take a glance at the online edition of any newspaper, for example World:

The cover is only updated every 20 minutes, moving the new to old news according to importance, so you can be informed what happens shortly after the news occurs, the various stories are linked to earlier thanks to the hypertext, thus providing a context that helps explain the first information, no pictures (also linked), videos, graphics and documents enriching audio information; special offered multimedia where there is comprehensive information on a particular topic drawing on photos, videos, etc.. and of course there are the archicitados blogs.
All these-and many-are many advantages that digital media has written about using the possibilities of the Internet and websites that make it a much more crowded than the newspaper for information, because in addition this is better and more complete.

In this situation, it is interesting and necessary to consider what role is left to the press. Maybe the money that should arise would aim at giving interpretation of the news a lot (look for the reasons, causes and consequences, possible solutions, etc..) together with a similar number of opinion-but not of any, please, "and reports of general social interest. And this only go with a minimum of information necessary for contextualized pure all that is being interpreted and what are reviewing.

In fact, the written press and meets many of these features, but perhaps there has been a bit overwhelmed with this advancement that Web journalism has made him so brilliant, and it still strives to provide the same type information that has already out 10 or 12 hours earlier.

However, it must be said that digital media are also set out the roles of opinion and interpretation in their own blogs of journalists who usually puzzle over what to express their views about specific topics. The question that lies at the heart of the matter is clear: will digital journalism by curtailing the role of media in society, or else this force is above all and manage to find new reasons for survival?
