Ethics+and+Guidelines

=**Welcome to the ETHICS AND GUIDELINES section of Student Press Rights!**=

//**Part1**// 1. Uphold accuracy--truth is key 2. Be fair and unbiased 3. Have clear separations between news, analysis, opinion, and advertisement 4. Write quality work with integrity 5. Remain impartial and dispassionate, especially with controversial topics 6. Do not endorse or appear to endorse anything 7. Identify sources 8. Avoid misrepresentation: do not oversimplify or exaggerate 9. Never plagiarize 10. Avert stereotypes

//**Part 2**// The first thing you should do is act independently. Which means you should know that anything you do on any social-networking site can and will effect your credibility. So in other words watch what you post and say online. You should try to avoid posting things that may cause embarrassment to yourself or your news organization. Examples: expressing political views or opinions about news makers or sharing internal communications. The second thing you should do is, report the truth. This is incrediably important, reporting false and incorrect information can hurt your credibility. You should have many valid sources before you write anything. Good sources too, not just Jon Smith said this. The third thing you should do, is try to minimize harm. Which means you should let the person you are talking to know, everything they say or do, can and will be posted. Make sure they understand what you mean. If you don't it would be very easy for your sources to misunderstand you, your intentions and they may not cooperate to their fullest potential. Make sure that you are very careful when dealing with someone underage. When talking to or connecting to a minor, have them contact a responsible adult who can monitor what is going on, and what is being said. And the fourth thing is, don't be late. Deadlines are very important in the writing world. Time is everything, so arrive early to interviews, and make sure all your articles are completed on time.

[] This site [|ethics 2] This site discusses honesty and tells the journalist to ask themselves before writing a story, "Can I be honest?" Student journalists should ask themselves if they are able to provide honest journalism rahter than make up somehting for their own benefit.

//**Part 4**// This [|website] has information on how in journalism you should be honest, truthful, fair, and courageous when writing. It gives the reader what journalists should do and what they should not do. Overall it is a good site because it tells the reader very specifically what is wrong and what is right when it come to ethical writing.

All which are equally important and help you understand ethics better.

This [|website] is more of the genral aspect of asects but it also applies heavily to studnets and what they should and should not do. It list a variety of ethics you should follow and i agree with all of them.

This [|website] talks about the different types of ways students can go against their ethics and why it happens. There are many different ways and it also help you understand better of how not to go against some of the ethics that you may have gone against before.

The [|website] thst i feel is a very useful tool is this one. In this website the author is talking about a variety of peoples view on ethics in writing an din school. He also draws a reflection between ethics and empathy and how they are similar. This site provides a lot of detail and i feel is extremely important to the topic of ethics.

The final [|website] that i attained is a website that talks about somesituations where students have others do their work. This is extremely bad because nobody is getting anything out of it. It talks about al the dangers associated with it and why it is wrong. At the end there is a good saying which is "So, would you hire someone to write your paper for you?" This i feel sums up the whole article which is easy to tell that it talks about why havingsomeone else do your work is not a good idea.
