Dan Gillmor byder i Guardian på 22 regler for journalistikken, hvis han var leder af en medievirksomhed, bl.a.:
“16. Beyond routinely pointing to competitors, we would make a special effort to cover and follow up on their most important work, instead of the common practice today of pretending it didn’t exist. Basic rule: the more we wish we’d done the journalism ourselves, the more prominent the exposure we’d give the other folks’ work. This would have at least two beneficial effects. First, we’d help persuade our community of an issue’s importance. Second, we’d help people understand the value of solid journalism, no matter who did it.“
Enkelte af reglerne er ganske britiske, men i det store hele kunne man også kun glædes, hvis danske online medier adopterede listen. Plus måske nogle flere bud. Jeg savner i hvert fald selv en regel a la “I forbindelse med hver artikel angiver vi de primære kilder til historien.” Er det et ritzau-telegram? En pr-rådgiver? Et andet medie? Rigtig research? Eller…?
