Watchdog Culture in the Newsroom

"Watchdog journalism is a state of mind for the whole newspaper: Journalism that gives power to people."
Watchdog journalism is at the heart of a newspaper's commitment to public service. More than 30 publishers and editors, together with members of the Poynter faculty and representatives from top public service journalism organizations, gathered at Poynter last week to discuss how newspapers can create newsroom cultures that allow great watchdog journalism to flourish.
