Loath to admit: pressures on the ethical disclosure of news release sources by Journalists

Research output: Book chapter/Published conference paper › Conference paper › peer-review

Abstract

Non-disclosure of third-party news sources deceives the public and is ethically objectionable. The S.967 Pre-packaged News Stories Bill endorsed the principle of self-regulation by US journalists when disclosing the source of government news releases. The PRSA and RTNDA advocate disclosure of source to the public, but their members perceive advantages in non-disclosure. PR values the credibility of implied news organisation endorsement. Journalists resist being seen to be using PR as a source for their news.
