Ethics in Journalism

Journalists always try their hardest to create interesting, informative stories. But how far is too far?

There are many ethical problems when dealing with journalism.

Journalists often have to deal with something called a “conflict of interest.”

Journalists must try hard to not be bias and to see all sides of a problem. They can never choose sides in a story, which is best solved if the journalist has no relationship with the story or problem.

There is no laws about ethics in journalism, but it should be seem as an unwritten rule.

Solving ethical problems comes with practice. It requires reasoning by the journalist, as well as morals.

Journalists should focus on the facts of the story, rather than on how he or she feels about the story.

It is important that journalists are loyal and honest in their writing. A journalist is most likely to lose readers if they are not ethical and fair to all parties involved in the story.
