Don't Be Evil and Journalistic Ethics - 5/14/2005 03:01:00 PM

Dan Gillmor opened a discussion on journalistic ethics. He points to several ethical codes, but concludes that simplicity is best:
...the basics are pretty simple -- "Don't lie. Don't sell out." -- though the devil, as always, is in the details.

I tend to bring it down to this even tinier admonition: Be honorable.

I thought that Google modeled their Don't Be Evil ethic on well run newspapers. It turns out that now, when discussing journalism, Google's simplicity has become the model.



Don't Be Evil Wikipedia entry - 5/09/2005 05:33:00 PM

I created a Wikipedia entry for the Don't Be Evil philosophy. (Following Wikipedia's rules, and in the spirit of Don't Be Evil, I didn't link back to dontbeevil.com, since the Wikipedia entry should be for public benefit and not self-promotion.)
