Journalism: Basic rules and ethics
Journalistic writing must be guided by strong ethics along with accuracy, balance, and concision.
I give this simple handout to students and newspaper staff on one of the first days of class. We also have it posted in our publications room.
In a clear, simple way it explains the key principles of journalism and journalistic ethics. I think it's essential to not bog students down with minutiae in the beginning, but it is incredibly important to begin discussion and awareness of what a journali
