Integrity Awareness Week Presents 'Between Plagiarism and Copyright: The Ethics of News Aggregation'

What makes posting an existing story or video plagiarism, and how much of the content can you share before you violate copyright? These are the questions facing content producers in a face-paced online media environment. Professors Patsy Watkins and Ray McCaffrey will discuss the ethics and legal concerns of news aggregation as related to the modern media participation. Presented by Walter J. Lemke Department of Journalism.
