The role of social newsgathering in newsrooms has become more ethically complex than ever in recent months, as those who seek to disrupt disinformation and propaganda campaigns must adapt to an enemy that doesn't share their values. Journalists who report on the social web must now weigh the ethical implications of debunking falsehoods vs strategic silence, of embedding versus source protection and transparency vs access to dangerous online communities. We will debate these ethical quandaries and more in what we hope will be a spirited discussion involving the audience.
