Are You Ready to Be the Editor?

Description

Long time newspaper editor Warneke discusses the role of the editor  in balancing the interests of thousands of readers who have a right to information and, in many cases, need this information balanced against the concerns, wishes and desires of others, including the right to privacy.  Warneke shares some newspaper history and engages the audience in thinking through the topic of “news judgment”– what it is and why it’s important.  Audiences will gain insight into the decision-making process of determining what stories should be pursued, how stories are verified and the process of deciding what to publish.
