Select one ethical code from a news/journalist organization that you find compel
Select one ethical code from a news/journalist organization that you find compelling. Please provide the citation to your source in your paper.
Select a minimum of three tenements from that code that resonates with you as a journalism/communications major and provide one reason for each on why you believe it is essential and one you would abide by as a journalist.
In addition, while journalists who work for a certain publication or media outlet have to adhere to that organization’s ethical code to remain employed, in your opinion, do you believe that a journalist’s conduct should also be regulated by federal and/or state governments similarly to how attorneys and doctors are regulated such as they must adhere to a set code of conduct to maintain a license to practice law/medicine?
Should there be a national and/or state-specific ethical code for journalists? Why or why not?
