4As the recent controversy over the Facebook experiment conducted by researchers at Cornell and the University of California, it is essential to think very carefully about the ethical implications of conducting such studies.

9This has given rise to the new specialism of ‘data journalism’. News media organizations have also been at the forefront of experiments in citizen journalism and crowdsourcing data analysis. For an example of the latter, see www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2009/jun/18/mps-expenses-houseofcommons
