WASHINGTON POST ARTICLE

“The toll of Mike Wise’s false tweet on Ben Roethlishberger”

With the advent of social media sites like Twitter and Facebook, is it fair to hold modern journalists to the same ethical standards that print media journalists have held for many years? (In other words, should they be as responsible for what they state on the social media sites as for what they state in more traditional media sources?)

Should the journalists’ First Amendment rights continue to protect them from standards to which other professionals must adhere?
