	Journalism ethics and standards - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Journalistic codes of ethics are designed as guides through numerous difficulties, such as conflicts of interest, to assist journalists in dealing with ethical dilemmas.
		While journalists in the United States and European countries have led in formulation and adoption of these standards, such codes can be found in news reporting organizations in most countries with freedom of the press.
		One of the leading voices in the U.S. on the subject of Journalistic Standards and Ethics is the Society of Professional Journalists.

		The main activity of journalism is the reporting of events by stating the journalistic parameters of who, what, when, where, why and how and commenting on the significance of the event.
		Journalists may intentionally or unintentionally fall prey to propaganda or disinformation.
		Without even committing outright fraud, journalists may give a biased account of facts by being selective in their reporting, for instance focussing on anecdote or giving partial explanation of actions.

		Journalists will have opinions of their own, but they must not yield to bias or prejudice.
		For journalists to be professional is not to be without opinions, but to be aware of those opinions and make allowances for them, so that their reporting is, and appears to be, judicious and fair.
		Journalists, editors and supervisors must be aware of the necessity for balance in their ongoing presentation of controversial matters.

	The Seattle Times: Opinion: A serious erosion of journalistic standards
		The common feature — and the disturbing fact — is that none of these damaging failures would have occurred had senior journalists not been blind to the fact that the standards in their organizations were being fatally compromised.
		Journalists learn to be skeptical — of sources and of their own biases as well.
		When the Internet opened the door to scores of "journalists" who had no allegiance at all to the skeptical and self-disciplined ethic of professional news gathering, the bars were already down in many old-line media organizations.

	CEP SONG - Journalistic Standards
		The control of journalistic standards by the owners and mandarins of mass media must be tempered by the public interest.
		Working journalists in the monopolized television and newspaper media must know that, where there is conflict between the principles of public interest journalism and the direction set by ownership, there is a channel of appeal where professional standards reign.
		Legislation is necessary only to ensure that media owners acknowledge the requirement to share their control of journalistic standards with working journalists and well-informed public interest representatives, and to support the activity of the Councils.

	BlizzForums - Wherefore art thou, oh journalistic standards?
		Journalists tend to have a lot of solidarity; let's hope this guy makes it out of this.
		The saddest part is that journalists allow themselves to allow stuff like this happen, in the US's case, people who ascribe to either political party allow themselves to show us "the truth" because, as the public we're too stupid to figure it out on our own*.
		I think that 'Journalistic Standards' is now a News Corporation trademark, and stuffed in the bottom of the deepest filing cabinet in the company.

	Orcinus
		But by the old-fashioned standards of what makes one a "journalist" -- which entails being primarily a truth-seeker -- she is not.
		She is, in fact, more properly described as a "professional pundit," not a "professional journalist." She does do not do original reporting; she provides commentary on other people's work, or cheerleading for various aspects of the conservative-movement agenda.
		There were other instances that raised questions about her judgment as displayed in her columns: one, a column on "envirocrats" that was full of false facts and dopey assertions.

		Journalists are not there to reveal essential verities - we can leave that to the novelists - they are there to reveal true facts.
		The standards applied to Mr Rather, which Mr Johnson is unwilling to apply to Mr Gilligan, are high.
		I would not want to go to a surgeon who had a general idea of where the appendix is. Journalists have an important and privileged position in a democracy, and their accuracy matters too much to be shrugged away.

	Balancing sensitivity and journalistic standards
		Journalists say they try to be sensitive to readers' feelings but must also use the same professional standards as with any other story.
		Anderson, a veteran journalist, said in addition to being accurate, religion reporting must be fair to all sides in a story and complete in the coverage.
		With no trained eyes to safeguard that news meets basic journalistic standards before reaching readers, advocacy journalism is finding a large audience through the Internet and other technology.

	"Journalistic License: Professional Standards in the Print Media's Coverage of Israel," by Jeff Helmreich
		Accuracy is the ultimate standard in journalism; all other criteria for rating news coverage derive in some way from a measure of accuracy.
		All the major codes of journalistic standards demand that straight reporting be distinguished from commentary, particularly unattributed commentary.
		Thus, the common journalist's view of Israel and the Palestinians -- as a struggle for Palestinian statehood -- leads to an imbalanced approach to the conflict, apt to blame Israel for all the setbacks.

	Crikey Website - Greg Sheridan's lame defence (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Even worse for a journalist, Sheridan went on to break an "off the record" agreement he had with McCutcheon's producer (it was all off the record Greg) and then seriously misrepresented that exchange - at no time was any concesssion made that McCutchon had erred as Sheridan reports in his column this morning.
		Sheridan brought this all on his own head, and by his stubborn refusal to apologise for what might have been dismissed as nothing more than a regrettable error, is fast shredding whatever credibility he has outside the loyal circle of neo-con true believers who read his column.
		Only Sheridan's harshest critic would argue that this is a sacking offence, but serious issue of journalistic standards are at stake here, not just for the man himself, but for his newspaper.

		A weblog written by a journalist does not necessarily qualify as journalism for the same reason a novel written by a journalist does not: it is the practice that defines the practitioner, not the other way around.
		The standards used to determine when a personal recollection becomes a journalistic report are likely to vary from case to case.
		Credible journalists make a point of speaking directly to witnesses and experts, an activity so rare among bloggers as to be, for all practical purposes, non-existent.

		The purpose of the meeting was to question whether The Oregonian’s (Oregon’s largest newspaper) ethical and journalistic standards had been seriously compromised by the uncritical acceptance of an unverified statement made by Oregon State Senator Ginny Burdick.

	Oracle online
		While I applaud the idea of gathering ideas for 150 ways to improve Hamline by the university's 150th anniversary in 2004, I believe that in its current form this column violates journalistic standards, as well as the Hamline community's longstanding values of civility and ethics.
		While the president's leadership, his vision for Hamline and his compensation are all legitimate issues for discussion and debate, this was a personal, uncivil attack that lowers our level of discourse and fails to meet the standards and values of the Hamline community.
		I believe the editors of the Oracle should retain the newspaper's journalistic standards by maintaining its policy of not publishing anonymous submissions, except in those rare circumstances noted.

		Even some journalists, the most famous among them being CBS News' Mike Wallace, have called for a special commission to be appointed to establish ethical regulations for reporters.
		In the name of high journalistic standards, this paper has published information about the personal histories of those people involved in the case in the hopes that these revelations will somehow make up for the actions of Rumpus (which in its last issue published the names of the two students accused of the attack).
		Leaving aside all journalistic qualms, this piece may be objectionable on the grounds of taste alone.

	loose wire: Journalism, media & PR
		We were talking about about blogging, about the decline of journalistic standards, and I was trying to make the point about the continuing misperception that bloggers are inherently unreliable and the traditional media aren’t.
		It’s like this: Journalists, especially those of us who pride ourselves (foolishly and mistakenly, probably) on developing story ideas ourselves rather than being spoon-fed them, hate being told by a PR contact of the long line of other publications, journalists or colleagues that she or he has previously had dealings with.
		We bloggers, just like journalists, are a sensitive lot and hate to feel we're being taken for a ride by folk who haven't done their homework first.

		"I actually think those standards are pretty tough and and I have said to colleagues from the BBC that if they had operated under the same strict rules they might not have got into quite so much difficulty in the first place.
		The Guardian's new guidelines, issued to staff by the editor and available to the public on the newspaper's website, include a section on the use of sources which says journalists should use anonymous sources sparingly and that except in exceptional circumstances they should avoid any use of anonymous pejorative quotes.
		But there are clearly lessons for all journalists in this sorry story, and it seemed a good moment to try to remind ourselves of the standards we should aspire to.

		A new report is calling for higher journalistic standards and sweeping industry regulation in an effort to fix perceived lack of trust in the British media.
		A report published by the National Union of Journalists says the country's hacks could be in line for better pay and higher esteem if powers to regulate them were compulsory.
		The NUJ report said the problem of which camp journalists fall into has long vexed the UK, with many "charlatans and miscreants" able to masquerade as professionals.
