Photographers know it. If you post your work on a website like Flickr or 500px, chances are that it will be shared on social networks. This is great, of course, unless sharers "forget" to give credit where credit is due or try to claim ownership of the shots.

Coverage of rape can bring journalists swift and unpredictable repercussions, but it can also change attitudes. By Frank Smyth... (Finding the Courage to Cover Sexual Violence | a must-read analysis. #AttacksOnPress. Via bobbygw, Deanna Dahlsad

News of a celebrity's death can now spread across Twitter before the family's informed. That doesn't mean it should. Philip Seymour Hoffman died yesterday. This was the first and only thing we were told. Arguably, we were told too soon. The news came via a tweetfrom the Wall Street Journal, preceded by that all-too-familiar word, “Breaking.” But aside from the text of the tweet itself, there was no additional reporting to verify the announcement. That would come approximately 17 minutes later. In the interim, the news went viral. Online publications were willing to believe the Wall Street Journal before it posted a news brief to corroborate its tweet, but prefaced its own writeups and retweets with disclaimers like, “no confirmation yet, but …” Readers were also reticent as they sent the news further into the world, asking, “Is anyone else reporting this?” Some expressed their hopes that the news was a hoax....

Salon looks at the challenge of reporting celebrity deaths and the speed of the internet with the need for closer consideration of ethics. It's an important debate.

An Alabama judge imposed a 90-day sentence this week on corruption-fighting Alabama blogger Roger Shuler, whom authorities have jailed indefinitely for alleging a sex scandal involving a prominent attorney.
At right, Shuler, now 57, is shown puffy-faced in his mug shot following his arrest Oct. 23 in his garage in a suburb of Birmingham.
Meanwhile, the New York Times reported Jan. 12 on the threats to civil rights law posed by the libel case underlying Shuler’s jailing. The Times headlined the story, Blogger’s Incarceration Raises First Amendment Questions.
The Times story sought so hard to be balanced that it underplayed the court system's outrageous confiscation of Shuler's rights -- and the looming impact on the public.
Among the harms, the kangaroo court proceedings set back the state's image more than 50 years to the time of the segregationist Jim Crow era when libel and contempt of court proceedings were used to crush the civil rights movement.
Today, many should fear living and doing business in a state operating under one-party rule enforced by a court system aggressively deployed by its political leaders to operate in a lawless manner. ...In view of the apathy of much of the media regarding Shuler's dire circumstances, national coverage in the Sunday edition of the nation's most influential newspaper was a net positive for Shuler and other advocates of the First Amendment. Bu neither Robertson, a native of a nearby Alabama community, nor his selected experts featured in the article conveyed to the public the appalling danger of a court system operating so lawlessly. Under de facto direction from the state's highest court, the system is on its way to destroying a journalist without a trial and other due process safeguards that the American legal system theoretically requires...

There’s a lot of junk on the web. There is also a lot of good stuff on the web. And then there is the stuff that’s been lifted from the good and dropped amid the dross—the aggregation, the block-quotes, the straight-off copy-paste jobs. The extent of that duplication now has a number: according to Matt Cutts, a long time Google search engineer who developed Google’s family-friendly “SafeSearch” filter and who now leads Google’s web spam team, “something like 25% or 30% of the web’s content is duplicate content.” That’s not necessarily a bad thing. Not all of the duplication is plagiarized or hastily created traffic-seeking junk. Examples of inoffensive duplication include quotes from blogs that link back to the original blog, or the thousands of pages of technical manuals scattered across the web that are updated with small changes but remain largely the same..

Deanna Dahlsad's insight:
25%-30% sometimes seems low; but then again, I do hate to find some splogger with my stuff so my ire may seem to weight those numbers.

Yes, we have become the copy-paste generation because of the Internet! This, in itself makes it necessary to avoid plagiarism! A number of Universities in the US have disqualified researches that have had plagiarism issues.

Infographics are a powerful tool, but today they also create a trap for content creators and curators. ...And here's where the infographics become a danger. Because infographics are often taken at face value. One reason that I suspect plays a big role in the blind belief in infographic facts is the assumption that if someone took time to create this, surely they must have put time into fact checking it. And it is hard to fact check infographics. Even if they contain a source, it's often in fine print and the URLs are not clickable.
Deanna Dahlsad's insight:
Infographics can be powerful, breaking down complex things, especially for visual learners. But, as noted, they present problems. And they are meaningless to those with sight issues -- unless frustration counts.

Curation is nothing new, but online content curation is still in its early stages. Many content marketers are still unsure about what constitutes ethical content curation. If you're in this group, ...
Deanna Dahlsad's insight:
Most of this is common sense, really. But I can't drive home enough two of the points: Properly credit by prominently linking to the original source and Using quotes only; not the entire article. Also, inserting your own point of view is great -- however, sometimes there are reasons not to; for example, time constraints which have you quickly offering a link and/or when reiterating is like beating a dead horse.
