The presentation will start with briefly introduce reading for this week.The article ‘Shifting Roles, Enduring Values: The Credible Journalist in a Digital Age’ can be seen as two parts. It started by presenting how journalists are affected by new mass media technologies. The popularity of getting news from traditional media like print, broadcast are now decreased as the new media like internet become more and more popular. As every one today can publish their thoughts online as news without fear, it become complicated for publics to identify which content can trust (Hayes, 2007). This situation makes people hard to defining journalists. Hayes (2007) suggest that instead of seeking on define who are journalists by consider professional behavior, historical and legal perspective, focusing on the roles and values of the content itself will be more helpful to work out if we can trust the information the person proved. \n\nThe second part of this week’s reading is talking about three normative values, Authenticity, Accountability, and Autonomy, related to journalistic credibility that Hayes (2007) and his colleagues suggest need to be both strengthened and reinterpreted in a digital media environment. Information explosion and new online technologies have brought new challenges to the credibility of journalism. The authors argue that information providers in today’s media environment are overlapping considerations of honesty, transparency, and trust to establish their authenticity, accountability, as well as autonomy. Journalists are trying to use social media, such as blogs, to enhance credibility through personal disclosure and evidentiary support. \n

Reporters need to be on Facebook, Twitter and other social networks. Taking simple steps such as crowdsourcing story ideas or encouraging feedback increases a reporter’s credibility with a digital audience, having a Twitter account that mixes appropriate personal messages along with work-related tweets can let the audience see the “person behind the news,” which also builds trust.\n
