Assignment name and description

The code of ethics in the newsroom is a set of guidelines and principles that journalists and news organizations adhere to in order to ensure that their reporting is accurate, fair, and unbiased.

Read one of the ethics codes below:

1. Society of Professional Journalists: https://www.spj.org/ethicscode.asp

2. NPR: https://www.npr.org/ethics

3. The New York Times: https://www.nytimes.com/editorial-standards/ethical-journalism.html#ourDutyToOurReaders

4. BBC: https://downloads.bbc.co.uk/aboutthebbc/insidethebbc/howwework/policiesandguidelines/pdf/code-of-conduct-2022.pdf

After reading the code of ethics, answer the discussion question:

What are the benefits and limitations of having a code of ethics for journalists and news organizations? Can ethical guidelines enhance or impede journalistic freedom and creativity? Why or why not?
