What should “Three Laws for Journalists” look like, based on Isaac Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics?
1. Digital systems must be designed to protect and ensure, to the fullest extent possible, personal data and its exchange and communication.
2. Journalists must pursue all stories deemed to be in the public interest, even where that may require challenging the security of digital systems.
3. Journalists must protect their sources as well as the innocent public to the same extent as the digital systems of the First Law, where it would otherwise render the impossibility of the Second Law.

I may have turned Prof. Luis Teodoro and ma’am Melinda Quintos de Jesus into fans of data visualization.
