		At the January conference, what panelists tended to talk about their professional ethics and how they were motivated by those, but they didn't talk as much about how we might resolve issues when the professional ethics of journalists and the professional ethics of lawyers come into conflict.
		Journalists and lawyers are going to have profession-specific obligations, and surely it's appropriate to draw up codes of ethics that are applicable to professionals in a given profession.
		Journalists will go to jail before they will breach a promise to a source that they will keep the sourceÕs identity confidential because they believe, once it's perceived their promise won't be kept, the source of news that ultimately serves the public good will just dry up.

		The fact that journalists are willing to go to jail to protect sources ensures that anonymous sources believe they will have protection, but in fact, no such legal protection exists.
		Because unlike journalists, who seek to ensure that they are in no way connected to the story, bloggers tend to be intimately connected to their stories.

	Promiscuous Affections: Media: Part 2 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
		Journalists decide all the time what to tell, or not to tell, based on their own motives.
		They base those choices not just on ethics, but on interests: their own, their employers' and -- often most subtly -- the interests of those who share their politics, their culture, and their sense of how the world should be.
		How reassuring it would have been, among a crew of (mostly) gay and lesbian journalists, to hear not a catechism of "ethics" based on the mechanics of their trade, but talk of conscious, moral use of the power bestowed on them by a press card.

	EyeOnThePost - Journalistic Ethics
		It should be clear that commentators, columnists and journalists of opinion are serving the citizen debate rather than the narrow interests of a faction or a particular outcome.
		Journalists should be aware of our basic dilemma as citizens: that we have a need for timely and deep knowledge of important issues and trends--but we lack the time and means to access most of this crucial information.
		Thus journalists should use their special access to put the material they gather in a context that will engage our attention and also allow us to see trends and events in proportion to their true significance in our lives.

	Telling the Truth - Chapter 14: Journalistic Ethics in an Era of Subjectivity
		Other journalists have shied away from the extremes of ruthlessness, but the emphasis on using government power to adjust economic forces has been a constant.
		The courage of Chambers and others slowed down the journalistic rush to the left, and during the 1950s the press bent to a generally conservative era; during the 1960s, however, a new stampede began.
		But the incident nevertheless was a defining moment for a new journalistic ethic: Since reporters had gone out on ambush-setting by U.S. soldiers, not to go to the other side’s ambush would be a biased act.

		All of these actions would be serious violations of journalistic ethics and, according to the Times report, they proved troubling for some of the subjects of these stories.
		Blair’s alleged violations of journalistic ethics must also be viewed in the context of the kind of behavior that the newspaper is prepared to tolerate.

		A public opinion survey by the Media Studies Center in New York City was released to the editors during a panel examining a series of stories this year in which news organizations had to acknowledge questionable reporting practices.
		While the panel itself reflected the editors' deepening concern about journalistic practices, they were unprepared for the depth of public skepticism that was reflected in the survey.
		Nearly three-quarters (76 percent) of the respondents said that journalists often or sometimes "copy the words and ideas of others in a story and pass them off as their own."

		Hecht was never again to write fiction as a journalist, but he did go on to do so as a highly successful novelist, playwright, and Hollywood screenwriter.
		Both are well-crafted and feature many sound ideas, but err by focusing less on journalists' conduct than on the "public's right to know." In other words, they say a lot about the rights and very little about the press' responsibilities.
		As an ethics professor, I have found that those who rely most on written codes of conduct are the most unethical among us.

	Dan Gillmor on Grassroots Journalism, Etc.: Journalistic Ethics, Codes of
		Unfortunately, an ethics code is only as good as the incentives to abide by it.
		Right now journalists are a large and diverse bunch and there is little consensus for drumming out unethical "journalists" from the media coughbobnovakcough--especially since we can't even decide who should be considered part of the "media."
		Just as Google's "Don't be evil" motto will inevitably fall to the fiduciary obligations of a publicly held corporation, Journalists answer in some fashion to their pocket books and those of their employers and their employer's employers.

		As far as he is concerned, it would be unethical and a self-degrading exercise for journalists to report in a manner that makes it seem they are being manipulated by their source or informant.
		I do not understand how journalists cannot realise that those who are making allegations against the VFF are not executive members of any football associations or football leagues.
