February 04, 2010

(RTDNA) Newsrooms working to connect with audience members through social media and blogs have a new set of guidelines to help avoid ethical pitfalls that can come when experimenting with reaching audiences in these new ways. The guidelines are a supplement to the RTDNA Code of Ethics, the ethical standard broadcast and other newsrooms have followed for decades.

The International Federation of Journalists is the global voice of journalists. It was formed in 1926 and today is the world’s largest organisation of journalists, working across all sectors and representing more than 600,000 news staff in unions and associations of journalists from 120 countries.

The Ethical Journalism Initiative is a global campaign of programmes and activities to support and strengthen quality in media. It was adopted by the World Congress of the IFJ in Moscow in 2007 and was formally launched in 2008.
