SPJ Code of Ethics
　　Preamble
　　Members of the Society of Professional Journalists believe that public enlightenment is the forerunner of justice and the foundation of democracy. The duty of the journalist is to further those ends by seeking truth and providing a fair and comprehensive account of events and issues. Conscientious journalists from all media and specialties strive to serve the public with thoroughness and honesty. Professional integrity is the cornerstone of a journalist’s credibility. Members of the Society share a dedication to ethical behavior and adopt this code to declare the Society’s principles and standards of practice.
　　Seek Truth and Report It
　　Journalists should be honest, fair and courageous in gathering, reporting and interpreting information.
　　Journalists should:
　　Test the accuracy of information from all sources and exercise care to avoid inadvertent error. Deliberate distortion is never permissible.
　　Diligently seek out subjects of news stories to give them the opportunity to respond to allegations of wrongdoing.
　　Identify sources whenever feasible. The public is entitled to as much information as possible on sources’ reliability.
　　Always question sources’ motives before promising anonymity. Clarify conditions attached to any promise made in exchange for information. Keep promises.
　　Make certain that headlines, news teases and promotional material, photos, video, audio, graphics, sound bites and quotations do not misrepresent. They should not oversimplify or highlight incidents out of context.
　　Never distort the content of news photos or video. Image enhancement for technical clarity is always permissible. Label montages and photo illustrations.
　　Avoid misleading re-enactments or staged news events. If re-enactment is necessary to tell a story, label it.
　　Avoid undercover or other surreptitious methods of gathering information except when traditional open methods will not yield information vital to the public. Use of such methods should be explained as part of the story
　　Never plagiarize.
　　Tell the story of the diversity and magnitude of the human experience boldly, even when it is unpopular to do so.
　　Examine their own cultural values and avoid imposing those values on others.
　　Avoid stereotyping by race, gender, age, religion, ethnicity, geography, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance or social status.
　　Support the open exchange of views, even views they find repugnant.
　　Give voice to the voiceless; official and unofficial sources of information can be equally valid.
　　Distinguish between advocacy and news reporting. Analysis and commentary should be labeled and not misrepresent fact or context.
　　Distinguish news from advertising and shun hybrids that blur the lines between the two.
　　Recognize a special obligation to ensure that the public’s business is conducted in the open and that government records are open to inspection.
　　Minimize Harm
　　Ethical journalists treat sources, subjects and colleagues as human beings deserving of respect.
　　Journalists should:
　　Show compassion for those who may be affected adversely by news coverage. Use special sensitivity when dealing with children and inexperienced sources or subjects.
　　Be sensitive when seeking or using interviews or photographs of those affected by tragedy or grief.
　　Recognize that gathering and reporting information may cause harm or discomfort. Pursuit of the news is not a license for arrogance.
　　Recognize that private people have a greater right to control information about themselves than do public officials and others who seek power, influence or attention. Only an overriding public need can justify intrusion into anyone’s privacy.
　　Show good taste. Avoid pandering to lurid curiosity.
　　Be cautious about identifying juvenile suspects or victims of sex crimes.
　　Be judicious about naming criminal suspects before the formal filing of charges.
　　Balance a criminal suspect’s fair trial rights with the public’s right to be informed.
　　Act Independently
　　Journalists should be free of obligation to any interest other than the public’s right to know.
　　Journalists should:
　　Avoid conflicts of interest, real or perceived.
　　Remain free of associations and activities that may compromise integrity or damage credibility.
　　Refuse gifts, favors, fees, free travel and special treatment, and shun secondary employment, political involvement, public office and service in community organizations if they compromise journalistic integrity.
　　Disclose unavoidable conflicts.
　　Be vigilant and courageous about holding those with power accountable.
　　Deny favored treatment to advertisers and special interests and resist their pressure to influence news coverage.
　　Be wary of sources offering information for favors or money; avoid bidding for news.
　　Be Accountable
　　Journalists are accountable to their readers, listeners, viewers and each other.
　　Journalists should:
　　Clarify and explain news coverage and invite dialogue with the public over journalistic conduct.
　　Encourage the public to voice grievances against the news media.
　　Admit mistakes and correct them promptly.
　　Expose unethical practices of journalists and the news media.
　　Abide by the same high standards to which they hold others.

　　ASNE Statement of Principles
　　ASNE’s Statement of Principles was originally adopted in 1922 as the "Canons of Journalism." The document was revised and renamed "Statement of Principles" in 1975.
　　-------------------------------------------------------------
　　PREAMBLE. The First Amendment, protecting freedom of expression from abridgment by any law, guarantees to the people through their press a constitutional right, and thereby places on newspaper people a particular responsibility. Thus journalism demands of its practitioners not only industry and knowledge but also the pursuit of a standard of integrity proportionate to the journalist’s singular obligation. To this end the American Society of Newspaper Editors sets forth this Statement of Principles as a standard encouraging the highest ethical and professional performance.
　　ARTICLE I - Responsibility. The primary purpose of gathering and distributing news and opinion is to serve the general welfare by informing the people and enabling them to make judgments on the issues of the time. Newspapermen and women who abuse the power of their professional role for selfish motives or unworthy purposes are faithless to that public trust. The American press was made free not just to inform or just to serve as a forum for debate but also to bring an independent scrutiny to bear on the forces of power in the society, including the conduct of official power at all levels of government.
　　ARTICLE II - Freedom of the Press. Freedom of the press belongs to the people. It must be defended against encroachment or assault from any quarter, public or private. Journalists must be constantly alert to see that the public’s business is conducted in public. They must be vigilant against all who would exploit the press for selfish purposes.
　　ARTICLE III - Independence. Journalists must avoid impropriety and the appearance of impropriety as well as any conflict of interest or the appearance of conflict. They should neither accept anything nor pursue any activity that might compromise or seem to compromise their integrity.
　　ARTICLE IV - Truth and Accuracy. Good faith with the reader is the foundation of good journalism. Every effort must be made to assure that the news content is accurate, free from bias and in context, and that all sides are presented fairly. Editorials, analytical articles and commentary should be held to the same standards of accuracy with respect to facts as news reports. Significant errors of fact, as well as errors of omission, should be corrected promptly and prominently.
　　ARTICLE V - Impartiality. To be impartial does not require the press to be unquestioning or to refrain from editorial expression. Sound practice, however, demands a clear distinction for the reader between news reports and opinion. Articles that contain opinion or personal interpretation should be clearly identified.
　　ARTICLE VI - Fair Play. Journalists should respect the rights of people involved in the news, observe the common standards of decency and stand accountable to the public for the fairness and accuracy of their news reports. Persons publicly accused should be given the earliest opportunity to respond. Pledges of confidentiality to news sources must be honored at all costs, and therefore should not be given lightly. Unless there is clear and pressing need to maintain confidences, sources of information should be identified.
　　These principles are intended to preserve, protect and strengthen the bond of trust and respect between American journalists and the American people, a bond that is essential to sustain the grant of freedom entrusted to both by the nation’s founders.
