At times, you may find two or more of the ethical considerations outlined below in conflict, and will have to use your professional judgment to make the best of an imperfect decision. The way you do so may depend on your own expertise, field of work, and objectives. We hope that the guidance and examples herein will support you in making those difficult decisions, and we welcome your feedback to help us update and improve these guidelines." (About this guide)

migration in India. This manual lays out a different perspective on the issue of internal migration, which contextualizes and explains the causes and consequences of migration in a non-judgmental way, through a rights-based approach. The manual will guide CR practitioners through a process of thinking about the kind of radio programmes, campaigns and other broadcasts that can be developed to address the myriad issues around migration, particularly reflecting ethical approaches to addressing migrants and their issues. It also examines methods and practices to actively include migrant communities within the CR station's listenership, its programming and outreach. It will thereby help you create a socially inclusive agenda for your CR station with respect to migrants." (Pages 8-9)

personal experiences—telling what you know about your life experience; Tapping specialized expertise—contributing data or unique knowledge; Completing a task—volunteering time or skills to help create a news story; Engaging audiences—joining in call-outs that can range from informative to playful [...] The research shows that crowdsourcing is credited with helping to create amazing acts of journalism. It has transformed newsgathering by introducing unprecedented opportunities for attracting sources with new voices and information, allowed news organizations to unlock stories that otherwise might not have surfaced, and created opportunities for news organizations to experiment with the possibilities of engagement just for the fun of it."

For Chris Berdik, it was how scientists are mapping Tonle Sap, Cambodia’s largest and most threatened lake, so as to devise a plan that protects both jobs and environment. For Steve Sapienza, it was efforts to deliver clean water to the slums of Dhaka, Bangladesh, one of the world’s fastest growing cities. For Esha Chhabra, it was the eradication of polio in India, and the lessons from that experience for other public health challenges. Conventional wisdom says stories like this disappear, that in the chaotic din of contemporary journalism they sink without an audience. Our experience with these projects has been the opposite, with placements in outlets that range from The New York Times and The Atlantic to The Daily Beast, Nature, Forbes, and PBS NewsHour."
