Welcome to the
201 Media Ethics
page to support the assessment provided to you by your teacher
Where do I start?
You will need to use a variety of resources to complete this assessment task. This includes both:
- print resources (printed books, journals, articles)
- digital resources (web searches, databases, online encyclopaedias, YouTube).
A quick way to find out more about your particular Media Ethics issue is to do an internet search but remember to think critically about which websites you use. For example, the Ethical Journalism Network website is probably more reliable than Wikipedia.
Using a clustering search engine such as Carrot2 rather than relying on a JGI (Just Google It) approach is a more time effective strategy. You will still need to assess the websites you find for suitability but it clusters the results in a meaningful way that can provide additional feedback as well as a more comprehensive search of the web. Assess your sites using the CRAP test. :)
