Ethics are a system of moral principles: what is right and what is wrong.
Journalists have a code of ethics.
1. Be responsible.
2. Be fair.
3. Be honest.
4. Be accurate.
5. Be independent.
6. Minimize harm.
7. Be accountable.
As we record the news of your school, I would like us to follow this code or a similar code of ethics.
Using WORD or POWER POINT, please write or discuss your thoughts on each number (1 through 7). You may also bring in photos from the internet to help you show your thoughts. You MUST list your source (where you found the photo).
For example, tell me what you think it means to be responsible. Tell me what you think it means for journalists, writers or story tellers to be responsible. Tell me how you think you'll be a responsible reporter for your school's news.
Write a paragraph detailing your thoughts and ideas for all seven points.
Later, we'll be writing our own code of ethics. You may begin to brainstorm ideas as you write your definitions.
