Are podcasters REALLY journalists?
1947 book about new media: Carl Warren: Radio
News Writing and Editing
One finds fairly well-beaten paths into the older
professions of law and medicine. Not so plainlymarked are the ways of entrance into more modernoccupations not yet so clearly defined. Radiojournalism is fairly new. It has been made complex
both by its newness and by the fact that it stilldraws some of its workers from other institutionsin particular, the press.

Are podcasters REALLY journalists?
1947 book about new media: Carl Warren: Radio
News Writing and Editing
Yes, Women Are Wanted! The argument that
women are at a disadvantage in this work grows out
of a failure to distinguish between the functions of
processing and of speaking news. While she may be
ranked by some as a man's inferior behind themicrophone, there is no question of the woman's
equality behind the typewriter.

Ethics
Seek truth and report it. Journalists should be honest,
fair, and courageous in gathering, reporting and
interpreting information. Minimize harm. Ethical
journalists treat sources, subjects, and colleagues ashuman beings deserving of respect.Act independently.
Journalists should be free of obligation to any interest
other than the public's right to know. Be accountable.
Journalists are accountable to their readers, listeners,viewers, and each otherWillis, Jim. The Mind of a Journalist: How Reporters View Themselves, Their
World, and Their Craft.

Ethics
What is libel or slander in the news? In nontechnical
language it may be defined as an untruthful printed or
broadcast statement which exposes a person or group
of persons to public hatred, contempt or ridicule.More simply stated, it is anything that unjustly
defames the character of an individual or hurts him in
his business, profession, or vocation (Warren, 276).
