More about “What Values?”

What Values? form the basis of online journalism today?

What Values? underlie media ethics on the Web?

What Values? inspire innovative news operations on the Internet?

Dynamic media professionals will address these and other hot topics during “What Values?,” the 5th annual Poynter KSU Media Ethics Workshop in September.

This year’s daylong training program builds on the success of our previous Workshops, providing thoughtful discussion and practical advice for journalists working online as well as in print, broadcast, photography and elsewhere.

Participants will hear from Josh Marshall, editor and publisher of Talking Points Memo; Kelly Golnoush Niknejad, founder and editor of TehranBureau.com, and Dan Gillmor, author of “We the Media: Grassroots Journalism by the People, for the People,” a book that explains the rise of citizens’ media and why it matters.

The program takes place Sept. 17, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., in Franklin Hall’s First Energy Interactive Auditorium, which offers live video streaming, televised recordings of the proceedings, live blogging and cyber-links for distant guests. In recognition of the difficult economy, this conference minimizes costs and takes advantage of new technology. Guests may join us in person or watch and interact via any computer with an Internet connection.
