“…Occasionally, an author will offer a freestanding comment or paragraph about ethics in an article that otherwise does not explicitly target this domain. For example, in his recommendations for dealing with the media when disseminating results, Mangano (1991) urges, ''don't, under any circumstances, ever lie to a reporter'' (p. 119). Hurwith and Sweeney (1995), in discussing the use of visual images in evaluation, ask ''What ethical issues have to be considered regarding those photographed?'…”

This essay explores the contributions of Evaluation Practice and the American Journal of Evaluation to our understanding of evaluation ethics. The review is organized according to the five Guiding Principles for Evaluators (Systematic Inquiry, Competence, Integrity/Honesty, Respect for People, and Responsibilities for General and Public Welfare) and identifies key themes within each domain. The value of case-based ethical analysis is highlighted, as is the need for increased empirical research on ethical dimensions of evaluation, especially as these dimensions are perceived by stakeholders with whom evaluators interact. Over the past 25 years, evaluators have learned a great deal about the ethical challenges they are likely to encounter during any given stage of an evaluation, even as they continue to engage in debate over the roles through which evaluators can best serve the public interest.

“…The participatory nature of Greene's evaluation, along with the relatively small size of the organizations, is helpful to evaluators conducting this type of evaluation but is of limited use in a large, multisite setting. Another article (Mangano, 1991) described a strategy for working with the media developed by the Office of Evaluation and Inspections in the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services. Mangano's descriptive article outlines two types of media, mass and specialized, and ends with a list of action steps for dealing with media.…”

Use of evaluation findings is a valued outcome for most evaluators. However, to optimize use, the findings need to be disseminated to potential users in formats that facilitate use of the information. This reflective case narrative uses a national evaluation of a multisite National Science Foundation (NSF) program as the setting for describing the evolution of, and strategic planning for, effectively disseminating evaluation findings and recommendations. The program being evaluated is NSF's Advanced Technological Education (ATE) program. The dissemination to more than 200 active ATE projects and other audiences forced the evaluation project to be creative in its approaches. The dissemination strategies are related to two very common types of evaluation information: surveys and site visits. Approaches used include Web postings of various reports, brochures, interactive data displays, guidebooks, and videoconferencing. Advantages and disadvantages in terms of use of the techniques by various audiences are discussed.
