For those persons teaching journalism students, this selection of ethics codes from a range of news organizations will be indispensable. Brought together by the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism, this page contains ethics guidelines and codes from fifteen different news organizations from around the globe. Visitors can scan through the list at their leisure, and the codes here come from organizations such as the Detroit Free Press, the BBC, the U.S. Department of State, and National Public Radio. There are a few extra features here, including a link to a piece titled “What are the ethics of online journalism?”, direct from the USC Annenberg Online Journalism Review. The site is rounded out by the inclusion of some additional links dealing with “Advice to Students” and “Journalism Schools”.
