Thomas Kuhn published The Structure of Scientific Revolutions in 1962, describing the progression of science not as gradual accumulation of knowledge but as serial equilibrium punctuated by revolutionary changes—paradigm shifts that rapidly transform all subsequent inquiry. The Internet presents such a shift in the domain of human communication, with special consequences for media and publishing.
Last week, a Carnegie Council Workshop for Ethics in Business explored the codes of online conduct that are emerging as new media gain more influence in political and business affairs. The event was cosponsored by Booz Allen Hamilton’s strategy+business magazine and the NYU Center for Global Affairs, and was part of the Ethical Blogger Project.
