Scoop!

Scoop!
Journalists appear in fiction in many guises and play many roles. Sometimes they provide central characters, often they intrude on the action, their attentions as unwelcome as they often are in real life. Scoop! gathers together these appearances under a variety of themes, some amusing, some trivial, some giving an insight into how the Press works and how it is seen to impact on our society.

I am in Stavanger, giving a presentation on Ethics and Social Media to the Norwegian Communication Association's Autumn Seminar. It is an impressive event attracting 400 delegates and even without Norwegian it is clear they have heard some good sessions.

Delegates who want to follow up some of the ideas I discussed might look at the Social Media Guidelines posted for consultation by the UK's Chartered Institute of Public Relations - download here.
