MAking thE right cAll: thE EthicS chAllEngE

Journalists face tough calls every day. In the field, in the news-room, on the Web we all have that moment when we think to ourselves, ‘’Did I do the right thing?’’ Participate in a lively discussion that will let you take the lessons we’ve all learned back to your newsroom. There’s rarely just one right call. We’ll team you with other journalists as you challenge your-selves and have fun looking at real life, real time, and really tough decisions that journalists make on a daily basis.

University journalism programs are testing and researching the practical, legal and ethical confines of using drones in the news-gathering process.

Discuss the tech-nology, trends and limitations this emerging field represents.

growth in hiSpAnic MEdiASpanish-language media isn’t going anywhere. In fact, it continues to grow. In 2012, Fox launched MundoFox, a new Spanish network, aiming to compete with veterans Univision and Telemundo. In Los Angeles, Time Warner Cable launched a Spanish-language channel. And now, Univision is expanding into English-language news with Fusion, its new joint venture network with ABC. Learn how these growth trends affect all news media as outlets compete for a fast-growing Hispanic demographic.
