Does ABC News have an official code of ethics for its journalists?

Posted on April 6th, 2010 by admin in journalist ethics | 1 Comment »

I recently questioned an ABC reporter about some biased reporting, and quoted the Society of Professional Journalists Code of Ethics to him, pointing especially to the parts that discourage biased reporting and advocacy, and his reply was "I’m not a member." I’m trying to find out if the ABC News media have an official code of ethics to see how it might compare.

In the last election it became blatantly clear that ABC, NBC, and CBS have absolutely no code of ethics.

What are some examples of bias journalism and/or journalist or the decline of their ethics???

Posted on April 4th, 2010 by admin in journalist ethics | 3 Comments »

plz i need facts, dates, examples. etc.

Read "Bias" by Bernard Goldberg. It has everything you are asking for and it has it in spades. He literally disassembles the "journalists" and sites sources for every example he offers. To add insult to injury it is a pleasant book to read.

Did the shoe throwing journalist violate a fundamental code of ethics of his profession! ?

are journalist ethics decling?? why or why not?? name facts and points!!?

Posted on March 31st, 2010 by admin in journalist ethics | 1 Comment »

do journalist only care about getting their point across no matter how they do it?

Journalism and Ethics are a OXYMORON…

REPORTING is a different story. You have to note the difference between JOURNALISM and REPORTING.

Journalists create INFOTAINMENT, REPORTERS report FACTS. Journalists SPIN..they " adjust " FACTS…
