Help needed for ethics of design research

[Megan Deaton]

I'm a journalism student at the University of Oklahoma and also the print managing editor of The Oklahoma Daily, OU's student-run newspaper. I'm doing my honors research on the ethics of newspaper design, and I'm looking to interview newspaper designers about their experiences. The goal is to create a set of ethical guidelines for designers based on scholarly articles and interviews.

If you happen to be interested in this project, I would love to hear your input. I'm trying to gather ten in-depth interviews at the least, so any help is appreciated. Thanks so much!

I'm game if you need an interview.

[Megan Deaton]

Excellent! If you have any open time within the next couple of weeks, I would love to give you a call. Thanks so much!

Hey! I'm assuming you've seen this, but just in case, here is SND's code of ethics: http://www.snd.org/about/code-of-ethics/

I've looked at it briefly, and it will be part of the foundation for my research. Thanks so much!

Megan, I also wrote my research paper on this topic! It was extremely difficult because such a thing doesn't necessarily exist on paper in an ethical context. But, it was an extremely fun-filled learning process in conducting research and critical thinking. I can forward you some books and scholarly articles I used, too. Let me know! Good luck!

[Megan Deaton]

That would be so great! I'll shoot you a message with my email if that's ok.

Please do!
