Fun With Video Editing Ethics

I liked the article about video editing for the most part. I agreed with everything it said and it definitely teachers an important lesson for all journalists in the field. However, I felt like most of what it had to say was intuitive. I still feel like it was worth reading, because it's never bad to make sure you're aware of all of these pitfalls, but I didn't come away feeling like I really learned anything. I should hope that most people in journalism are smart enough to steer clear of dodgy editing and manipulation, but I suppose the occasional incident slips through the cracks here and there, and as the article mentioned, news outlets should certainly hold the occasional newsroom meeting about these issues.
