About this blog

  • Thinking Ethics was a project launched in Geneva to foster the debate about ethics. A few friends, fed up with only reading about abuses in the media, decided to hold a forward-looking seminar on five subjects: ethics and performance, ethics and knowledge, ethics and consciousness, ethics and disobedience and ethics in real time. If moral has to do with right and wrong, then ethics is its application in society. We believe that people need to talk about the subject to determine the level of ethics they want. The book Thinking Ethics, a result of the seminar, is to start the discussion. This blog is a contribution to the conversation.

Blogs - watchdogs of the media

A lot of noise is going around about the doctored photos by Adman Hajj of Israeli airstrikes in Beirut. Reuters has pulled them, as well as all other photos by Adman Hajj. The "touching up" was discovered by a blogger - Charles Johnson on Little Green Footballs. There is a lot of debate about ethics on the web, and that bloggers are not held to the same standards as journalists. But it is a fact that bloggers are keeping the media honest. In case you missed the beginning, check out the article in the Washington Post.
