Robert Niles‘ list:
Old rule: You can’t cover something in which you are personally involved.New rule: Tell your readers how you are involved and how that’s shaped your reporting.
Old rule: You must present all sides of a story, being fair to each.
New rule: Report the truth and debunk the lies.
Old rule: There must be a wall between advertising and editorial.
New rule: Sell ads into ad space and report news in editorial space. And make sure to show the reader the difference.
