David Burnett, who photographed the Watergate hearings in ’73, lugged an Aero-Liberator to Wednesday’s hearing. He talked to PDN about the difference between the experience, and why he chose 4x5 film. https://t.co/DuBA0Dt7US

When I started studying the American press as an institution (around 35 years ago) I did not assign much significance to a factor that would later feel huge and at times even decisive: the professional culture of the press. It's a beast. But now that beast is changing. THREAD. 1/

I held a media ethics discussion yesterday at @PLUNEWS, where I’m teaching journalism and other stuff this year. We talked about Stephen Glass, Jayson Blair, Rolling Stone/UVA and Jonah Lehrer. Small thread ahead.

Sometimes journalism is a bit like prospecting: You pan for gold and hope for a lucky strike. Sometimes you hit a vein, sometimes you don’t. Recognizing when you’ve come up empty is critical. A good deal of bad journalism involves refusal to admit discoveries of fool’s gold.

"Prohibiting government employees from sharing their candid observations isn’t just bad for journalism. It’s against the law."
To reporters who run into this all the time, this may be a surprise. But the indomitable @FrankLoMonte looked it up.

Every whistleblower story I’ve ever covered included an element of public officials blaming the whistleblowers, questioning their motives and trying to undercut their credibility. Every single time.
