Journalism ethics and standards - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Journalism ethics and standards comprise principles of ethics and of good practice as applicable to the specific challenges faced by journalists . Historically and currently, this subset of media ethics is widely known to journalists as their professional " code of ethics" or the "canons of journalism". [ 1 ] The basic codes and canons commonly appear in statements drafted by both professional journalism associations and individual print , broadcast , and online news organizations. — Tony Burman , ex-editor-in-chief of CBC News , The Globe and Mail, October 2001 [ 2 ] While various existing codes have some differences, most share common elements including the principles of — truthfulness , accuracy , objectivity , impartiality, fairness and public accountability — as these apply to the acquisition of newsworthy information and its subsequent dissemination to the public.

http://www.denieuwereporter.nl/2012/01/verantwoording-en-transparantie-blijkt-lastig-in-de-journalistieke-praktijk/ Kritiek op de media en journalistiek in Nederland lijkt de afgelopen jaren alleen maar te zijn toegenomen. Kwamen er vroeger slechts een aantal brieven per dag binnen bij nieuwsredacties, nu krijgen ze honderden e-mailreacties per dag. Maar niet alleen door de nieuwe technologieën laten lezers, kijkers en luisteraars zich steeds vaker horen. De ontzuiling en de daarmee gepaard gaande verminderde loyaliteit naar krant of omroep, en een toegenomen opleidingsniveau van de gemiddelde Nederlander zorgen eveneens voor een kritischer publiek. Maar ook politici hebben zich de afgelopen jaren kritisch uitgelaten over de media. Volgens Pim Fortuyn zouden de media niet de waarheid berichten en niet ingaan op de belangrijke onderwerpen die in de Nederlandse samenleving spelen zoals de integratiekwestie.

Werken bij de NOS is nooit saai. De laatste weken nog wat minder dan anders. Mevrouw Nurten Albayrak heeft een klacht bij de Raad voor de Journalistiek ingediend naar aanleiding van de berichtgeving van de NOS over haar functioneren als hoogste baas van het COA. Ook de Commissie van Deskundigen, die de NOS adviseert over journalistieke aangelegenheden, zal zich over deze spraakmakende reportages buigen. In dit kader besteedde het NRC op vrijdag 20 januari aandacht aan de mogelijkheden van kijkers en luisteraars voor het indienen van klachten bij de NOS. Die zouden te beperkt en niet goed vindbaar zijn. http://weblogs.nos.nl/directie/2012/01/27/nos-staat-open-voor-kritiek/
wetenschap 13 januari 2012 8:00 | De angst onder journalisten om hun journalistieke autonomie te verliezen is vaak groter dan hun wil om het publiek en de kritiek die er bestaat op hun functioneren serieus te nemen. Dat zegt communicatiewetenschapper Yael de Haan in haar proefschrift ‘Between professional autonomy and public responsibility. Accountability and responsiveness in Dutch media and journalism’, waarop zij gisteren promoveerde. De laatste jaren lijkt de kritiek op media en journalistiek in Nederland toe te nemen, constateert De Haan, werkzaam bij de Amsterdam School of Communication Research ( ASCoR ) en als mediadeskundige lid van de Raad voor de Journalistiek. Uit zowel publieke als politieke hoek krijgen zij het verwijt feiten te overdrijven, hypes te creëren en misbruik te maken van hun macht. De Haan onderzocht hoe Nederlandse media hebben gereageerd op de kritiek op hun functioneren.

[video] Orwell Lecture 2011: Alan Rusbridger – Hacking away at the truth | The Orwell Prize

The Guardian has been investigating the phone-hacking allegations at the News of the World for years, and broke the story about Milly Dowler’s phone this July. With the Leveson Inquiry and countless police investigations now ongoing, Alan Rusbridger lectures on ‘Hacking away at the truth: an investigation and its consequences’ .
http://theorwellprize.co.uk/events/past-events/alan-rusbridger-hacking-away-at-the-truth/ Thank you for asking me to give this lecture. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have become a journalist were it not for George Orwell . His collected Essays, Journalism and Letters appeared in a four volume Penguin edition in 1968, when I was about 15. I bought them one at a time with my saved pocket money … and read every word. And, with each essay and article, I learned more about politics; about observation; and about how to write.

Leveson inquiry: Hearings

Ian Hislop, editor of Private Eye, launched a scathing attack on the Murdoch media empire's "cosy relationship" with current and former prime ministers at the judicial investigation into the media. The Have I Got News For You star also criticised the Metropolitan police for failing to investigate phone hacking at the News of the World and said the press could be held to account by current laws. Mr Hislop, who has edited the satirical magazine since 1986, also accused Mohammed Fayed of hiring someone to rummage through his bins looking for information. He alleged the Egyptian billionaire paid infamous Fleet Street operator Benjy Pell to target Private Eye at its central London offices. Mr Hislop said he once wrote a stiff note to "one of my staff" which he later decided not to pass on. He threw it away but the contents were later published in Mr Fayed's magazine Punch. http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/murdoch-and-his-papers-too-cosy-with-political-class-says-ian-hislop-7308605.html
