With the passing of Walter Cronkite, the sharing and reporting of information has been discussed. Mr. Cronkite, being the reporter and editor he was, knew the difference between opinion and fact.
Whether it takes written form or conversation, relating information continues to change. Today's world of instant information has put a different spin on things, but, ultimately, the concept shouldn't have changed.
We all need to know the difference between opinion and fact. And corroborated fact. Mr. Cronkite, and my journalism professor, Ted Conover, would agree that you not only get your information from more than one source, that you also make sure that you hear what you're repeating from more than one source.
When we are in conversation with those in our network, we want to make sure we are accurate, ethical and clear in information we are passing along. Whether it is a job lead, information about a company or facts about our host, we must be accurate and honest.
It's only good manners.
