SPJ Ethics code gets global attention

Wed, 03/10/2010 - 5:54am — Dan Kubiske

Andy Schotz, our chapter prez and national ethics committe chair, pointed out a piece in today's People's Daily Online that uses the SPJ Code of Ethics -- along with the codes from RTNDA and ASNE -- to basically tell U.S. journalists to stop criticizing the way China does journalism.

I put up a few comments on the SPJ International Journalism Committee blog site this morning. There will be more. As I said in my first posting, I need to calm down a bit before getting into the fight.

Well, it ain't so.

The modern journalist: Use QR barcodes

Fri, 02/26/2010 - 9:01am — Dan Kubiske

(Note: Thanks to Joe Grimm at the Poynter Institute for talking about this technology.)

More newspapers are now adding two-dimensional barcodes to their stories. These QR (for Quick Response) barcodes work with mobile phones. The software in the phone can send the reader to a web page for more information, provide the user with contact data or background information, send a pre-arranged SMS or display a text message.
