International Center for Media and the Public Agenda (University of Maryland), Openness and Accountability: A Study of Transparency in Global Media Outlets: “The Libby, Enron and Arthur Andersen cases have all put the issue of transparency in the forefront of the news. But how transparent are the media themselves? How candid are they about how they cover the news? How willing are the media to make their reporting and editing standards public? According to this new ICMPA study most news outlets are unwilling to let the public see how their editorial process works. Fewer than half of the websites publicly corrected mistakes in their stories and only a handful shared with readers the journalistic and ethical standards that theoretically guide their newsrooms.”
