Paper Summary:
This paper analyzes the primary role of professional associations' codes of ethics. It provides an example of such a code of ethics by discussing the American Society of Newspaper Editors' code of ethics. The paper describes the principles of the code and the values that are included in each principle. The paper then discusses the necessity of codes of ethics for a professional association, specifically American journalists.From the Paper:
"Decision-making processes may be assessed by examining the courses of actions and past unethical or ethical decisions. A good example of unethical business conduct and unethical decisions is Boeing Company, where repeated unethical behaviors and decisions have been manifest in the course of time: unethical hiring, leasing, biddings etc. despite the fact that they have a published Code of Ethics. In problem solving, it is again important to promote ethical alternatives in order to adopt a fair solution for the parties involved. The importance of the code and of the system of inquiry in establishing these alternatives is valuable."Sample of Sources Used:
