Editorial Policies

The Soci­ety of News Design has pro­duced an excel­lent Code of Eth­i­cal Stan­dards for visual journalism.

The Pub­lic Rela­tions Soci­ety of Amer­ica pro­vides a Mem­ber Code of Ethics that can help any pub­li­ca­tion in devel­op­ing its own policies.

The New York Times Com­pany has one of the most exhaus­tive ethics poli­cies, and it applies to every­one employed by the com­pany. This is a great site to browse for ideas that could help you, and lan­guage that has been care­fully vetted.

The Rock Canyon HS news­pa­per “The Rock” devel­oped this edi­to­r­ial pol­icy, and it includes com­men­tary from then-adviser Jack Kennedy. The Rock Canyon year­book, “The Black & Gold,” also devel­oped a one-page edi­to­r­ial pol­icy that can help you get started on your own.
