In which I am quoted on the ethics of publishing the names of juveniles charged with crimes - and the ethics of government telling journalists (and others) what they can and cannot say in balancing harm vs the public's need to know.

Hey, testtakers: Are news media biased? (Yes -- left, right, centrist, too.)
And Huey Lewis and the News was a band that reminded us that it's "Hip to be Square."

Today's news: Lachlan Murdoch paid @crikey_news $840k to end libel suit. His lawyer says they didn't want to "facilitate a marketing campaign designed to attract subscribers and boost their profits.”
Crikey! You'd think he thought of that before suing.

Pleased that @Poynter cited my term “rinky-dink” to describe how a Supreme Court justice used ethics against ethical journalists.
Imagine the outcry had @propublica not followed@spj_tweets code and not given Alito a chance to respond in the story.

In which I am quoted in @washingtonpost after Supreme Court Justice Alito said "no comment" to ProPublica, but defended himself in @wsjournal before ProPublica published.
Being ethical - and having it used against you - is rinkydink. @spjtweets

In which I'm interviewed for a @NPR story about a 69-year-old guy who does citizen journalism in Fairhope, Ala., one of the state's 10 wealthiest cities.

Proud to play a small hand as an @spj_tweets ethics committee member in this statement. Regardless of whether or not @FoxNews broke defamation laws in its 2020 elections, its conduct certainly was not ethical.

Hey, @tiktok_us – Spying on journalists won't prove your First Amendment bona fides as U.S. governments look for reasons to boot you.

Presenters, posters, authors, oh my! We’re having a great time at the 32nd Annual APPE International Conference in Portland! #APPE2023
The @spj_tweets ethics code: “Journalists should: Explain ethical choices and processes to audiences. Encourage a civil dialogue with the public about journalistic practices..."
In other news, @FoxNews isn't telling viewers about suit against @FoxNews.

In which I am quoted as an ethics expert on those listicles that purport to rank the "worst" crime cities.

@NPR media correspondent @davidfolkenflik reported on political interference on journalism at West Virginia Public Broadcasting.
You won’t find it on @wvpublicnews – it stopped publishing @NPR news after @NPR started reporting.

A judge fined Donald Trump/lawyer $1mm for the frivolous suit against @HillaryClinton. @FoxNews hasn't posted the news online.
The @spj_tweets code says journalists should "Gather, update and correct information throughout the life of a news story."

The thing about liars: When you lie about the lies you lied about, few people believe you even if you might be telling truth.
That’s true, even if it’s just Mad Libs tales about you:
George Santos (PAST-TENSE VERB) at (PLACE) with (GROUP OF PEOPLE.)

Don't break the law. Don't hurt the environment. And don't film yourself breaking the law, thinking you're cool when you are hurting the environment. #TikTok

Hey, @MassComm101 students and alumni: Auburn scored on a TD pass. No replay in Bryant Denny Stadium.
Is this censorship?
You’d think @Drake & @21savage, who sell intellectual property, would know not to steal others’ IP.
But you’d really think their @HiltzikStrat, their PR firm, would know it, too. Or anybody who knows not to do things you don’t want done to you.
