SINGER, Jane B.. Getting past the future: journalism ethics, innovation, and a call for ‘flexible first'. Comunicação e Sociedade [online]. 2014, vol.25, pp.49-66. ISSN 1645-2089.  https://doi.org/10.17231/comsoc.25(2014).1858.

Journalists have long used ethical principles to define who they are as well as how they should behave. Ethics become a boundary marker to distinguish journalists from non-journalists, and familiar practices from unknown ones. As a result, journalists initially tend to frame a new approach as posing a terrible challenge to normative principles - that is, as something that must be resisted on moral grounds. Such resistance can easily become an impediment to thinking pro- ductively about how best to respond to innovation. This essay proposes that journalists should instead confront change by asking how they can adapt to - and adapt along with - the new thing, while at the same time preserving their core values.

Palavras-chave : Journalism ethics; social media; change; innovation; flexibility.
