The editor and publisher of the American Journalism Review, Rem Rieder, has a timely essay on how the impulse to publish online now can hurt journalistic standards, especially accuracy.

Standards matter. Accuracy matters. Context matters," Rieder says. Read it here.
On a side note, I misspelled Rieder's name in my original draft of this. Yoi!
