I support the new policy, but voted against the previous proposal because – even though the intent was good – I thought it was flawed.

But why not make your finances more easily available than “by appointment”? That sounds more like an obstacle. Would be easy to post quarterly and annual financial statements online for anyone to see.

Too bad delegates to the convention last year voted down a similar proposal.

So is Accountability. Here’s another “model” for consideration, David, Carl and others: SPJ members should take the “TAO of Journalism” pledge and display the seal in print or online. It’s a totally voluntary promise to be Transparent about who you are, Accountable if you make mistakes, and Open to other points of view. It’s based on the “Be Accountable” section of the SPJ Ethics Code. For details on how it works and a list of who has already taken the pledge all around the world, see http://taoofjournalism.org. Questions? Call me at the Washington News Council (206.262.9793) or email info@wanewscouncil.org. I’ve proposed a session on the TAO at the Anaheim convention. Stay tuned!

Sunshine is a good thing! I welcome any thoughts, suggestions, or other models of transparency from anyone, either here or privately (ironically!) via my email, spjdave@yahoo.com.

]]> Comment on To opine or not to opine: Social media proves fertile ground for a discussion about journalists and social media by Tamarind http://blogs.spjnetwork.org/membership/2012/10/22/to-opine-or-not-to-opine-social-media-proves-fertile-ground-for-a-discussion-about-journalists-and-social-media/comment-page-1/#comment-430 Tamarind Mon, 22 Oct 2012 20:31:04 +0000 http://blogs.spjnetwork.org/membership/?p=600#comment-430 Holly,

Thanks for including my comments on this piece. However, one little thing, the following comments in the fourth bullet are mine and should be separated from the other person’s comments.

The comments are:
When we as journalists step away from this mindset, we dilute the news process and step into the realm of telling people WHAT and HOW to think. And in my opinion, that is no longer journalism. Expressing one’s opinion as you’re hanging out with friends (in person or on your PERSONAL Facebook page), is fine.

Other than that, looks great. Thanks.

I could have sworn I’ve been to this blog before but after browsing through some of the post I realized it’s new to me.
Nonetheless, I’m definitely glad I found it and I’ll be
book-marking and checking back often!
