Journalism online: Ethics as usual?


Hi! its been a while since my last post.  I am preparing for my next training assignment in Brunei. I came across this write up by Ari Heinonen entitled "Journalism online: Ethics as usual?" which is quite interesting, as it relates to my next training assignment. 
Ari tried to examines the "possible changes" in the ethical attitudes of journalists in the context of new media-dominated communication environment, but found NONE

Now my question is whether journalism ethics apply to bloggers and twitters especially to individual and personal bloggers or twitters. It would interesting to discuss and find out this at my coming training. Below is some related terms word play on Wordle.
