Global Trends in Journalism

We are committed to aggressive journalism in all forms, including in the field of computer assisted reporting, but we draw the line at illegal behaviour. Internet reporting is nothing more than applying the principles of sound journalism to the sometimes unusual situations thrown up in the virtual world. The same standards of sourcing, identification and verification apply. Apply the same precautions online that you would use in other forms of newsgathering and do not  anything from the Internet that is not sourced in such a way you can verify where it came from.
