ETHICS

Posted by robert.gaboury@videotron.ca on May 25, 2009 at 05:59:36:
SPJ (Society of professional journalists) Code of Ethics says. Journalists who act independently should:

â€” Avoid conflicts of interest, real or perceived.
â€” Remain free of associations and activities that may compromise integrity or damage credibility.
â€” 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.
â€” Disclose unavoidable conflicts.
â€” Be vigilant and courageous about holding those with power accountable.
â€” Deny favored treatment to advertisers and special interests and resist their pressure to influence news coverage.
â€” Be wary of sources offering information for favors or money; avoid bidding for news.

Either this code of ethics should apply to reviewers as part of the journalism profession OR audio reviewers are not journalists and only a marketing expense for manufacturers, importers and distributors.
