EthicNet – collection of codes of journalism ethics in Europe

EthicNet is a collection of codes of journalism ethics from most European countries – Europe understood widely as by the Council of Europe. The collection has accumulated from numerous research projects carried out since the late 1970s at the University of Tampere, Department of Journalism and Mass Communication, in cooperation with UNESCO and the International Organization of Journalists. The latest updating was done by a project on the development of journalism ethics in Finland and Europe funded by the Helsingin Sanomat Foundation.

The collection in June 2008 includes altogether 50 codes from 46 countries – from Albania to the United Kingdom (the latter with two codes)
