The creed of “impartiality” and “objectivity” that has infected the liberal class teaches, ultimately, the importance of not offending the status quo. The “professionalism” demanded in the classroom, in newsprint, in the arts or in political discourse is code for moral disengagement.
—Chris Hedges, Death of the Liberal Class (2010)

A quotation from Molly Ivins

There’s no excuse for spreading misinformation just because it comes from someone in a high place.

Molly Ivins (1944-2007) American writer, political columnist [Mary Tyler Ivins]
Essay (1973-01), “Pitfalls of Reporting in the Lone Star State,” Houston Journalism Review

WIST Quotations · Essay (1973-01), "Pitfalls of Reporting in the Lone Star State," Houston Journalism Review - Ivins, Molly | WIST QuotationsThere’s no excuse for spreading misinformation just because it comes from someone in a high place. Collected in Molly Ivins Can't Say That, Can She? (1991).

This you didn't see on telly.

You did see Erika Vikman's expression but not, what caused it.

Just think about it - you'd be 7 meters high, and all in a sudden there'd be an explosion next to you.

And you would be singing a long note on a tv show watched by 200 millions people.

Gosh, what a professional she is!

I have been saying for decades, for as long as I have been involved in the industry that the IT industry needed to establish #standards of #ethics and #professionalism regarding #privacy, #security, and data #integrity, equal to those of the licensed professions (medicine, law, architecture/engineering, etc), and that if the IT industry did not do so, it would be detrimental not just to the industry, but to the public, and to the progress and adoption of technologies. We need a data priesthood.

Continued thread

There are six different sources of power: Coercive, Reward, Legitimate, Referent, Expert and Informational.

But power gained from Expert and Informational are the only legitimate sources of power that stands the test of time and legal court.

Professionalism, in its genuine form, is the process of compiling and affirming your sources of experts and information.

Wilkinson v Channel Ten is a great reminder about the critical important of professionalism and journalism.

Because when a stakeholder tries to ‘throw you under the (legal/corporate/political) bus’ the only thing that will save you is your professionalism and conduct.

The Guardian · Lisa Wilkinson says ‘I published a true story about a rape’ after Bruce Lehrmann defamation case rulingBy Jordyn Beazley

Controversial video posted online embroils two NSW nurses over alleged antisemitism: abc.net.au/news/2025-02-12/nsw

A great reminder about the value of the Hippocratic-esque oaths and value statements that reflect ‘Universal human rights’, in the health system.

And a disappointing lack of charismatic leadership from Political and Administrative leaders.
It’s easy to express ‘disgust, horror, shock, etc’. Somehow it’s ‘hard’ for leaders to talk about universal rights and why it matters.
