- Title
Can trolling be taught? Educating journalism students to identify and manage trolling -- an ethical necessity.
- Authors
Thompson, Jay Daniel
- Abstract
This paper argues that incorporating education about trolling into journalism education is an ethical necessity for journalism educators. This is because trolling has become a significant source of risk for journalists. The paper begins by reviewing existing scholarship on the trolling of journalists, before suggesting ways in which journalism students can be taught to identify and manage trolling in their professional lives. The overall argument is informed by Sue Robinson's model of 'journalism as process' which encourages interactivity and participation from readers. The paper also draws on Ulrich Beck's influential work on risk and Denis Muller's scholarship on journalistic ethics.
