Poynter Ethics

Took me a while to get one of these under my belt, and there will likely be more than one tonight.

But anyway, I was browsing the ethics section at www.poynter.org and found a listing of ten criteria that a good journalist should follow in making a good ethical decision. It's a pretty standard list, but the only issue is that it was posted seven years ago. A great deal has changed in this profession, particularly in online media, in the past seven years and was curious if anyone had something to add to this list. I'll leave the link here if any of you should feel inclined to check it out.
