Welcome to EthicNet!
- EthicNet is a project which aims at a comprehensive databank
offering basic information on media ethics for journalism students
and teachers as well as scholars and practitioners. We believe
that this kind of open service on Internet may contribute to
raising the standards of journalistic performance.
- EthicNet is a collection of codes of journalism ethics from
most of the European countries, translated into English. The
core of the collection resulted from numerous research projects
of the Department of Journalism and Mass Communication, University
of Tampere, and it has been extended and updated with information
from various relevant sources.
- The contents of EthicNet are inevitably incomplete, and we
welcome all proposals for its improvement! We would be especially
delighted to receive additional codes for this collection. Efficient
updating of EthicNet naturally requires continuous funding -
something that cannot guaranteed at present. EthicNet is therefore
a call for all interested parties to contact us for further discussion
about working together.
- EthicNet is maintained by the Journalism Research and Development
Centre at the Department of Journalism and Mass Communication,
University of Tampere, Finland. The database is supervised by
Prof. Kaarle Nordenstreng and Dr. Ari Heinonen.
