ABSTRACT

Community-focused journalists increasingly publish their work for global audiences. This project defines a circle of “community privacy”—the understanding that some information is ethically appropriate for a local population but inappropriate beyond that community. This new consideration of privacy should be used by news organizations and others to accompany traditional considerations of “public” and “private” spheres of life. It provides examples when information needed by local residents was inappropriately handled outside that community. It identifies some practical solutions to this technology-derived problem and argues that local journalists should consider the global implications of what they publish locally about private people.

摘要

面向社区的记者越来越多地向全球观众发布他们的作品。该项目定义了一个“社区隐私”圈子，即某些信息在道德上适合当地居民，但不适用于该社区，这是一种理解。新闻组织和其他组织应使用这种对隐私的新考虑，以配合对“公共”和“私人”生活领域的传统考虑。它提供了一些示例，说明在该社区之外不当地处理了本地居民所需的信息。它确定了针对此技术衍生问题的一些实际解决方案，并认为当地记者应考虑他们在当地发表的有关私人人物的全球影响。
