Today the Society of Professional Journalists updated its Code of Ethics in two ways pertinent to wikimedians and Wikimedia projects:
1. The term "journalist" has been replaced with references to "journalism" in areas that were seen to perpetuate the idea that the practice of journalism requires official credentials distinguishing professionals from citizen journalists. 2. The Code now states that all advocacy journalism and commentary should be labeled as such. http://www.spj.org/news.asp?ref=1282 http://www.spj.org/ethicscode.asp _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe>
