Journalism ethics and standards​

Journalistic ethics and standards comprise principles of ethics and good practice applicable to journalists. This subset of media ethics is known as journalism's professional "code of ethics" and the "canons of journalism".[1] The basic codes and canons commonly appear in statements by professional journalism associations and individual print, broadcast, and online news organizations.

There are around 400 codes covering journalistic work around the world. While various codes may differ in the detail of their content and come from different cultural traditions, most share common elements that reflect values including the principles of truthfulness, accuracy and fact-based communications, independence, objectivity, impartiality, fairness, respect for others and public accountability, as these apply to the gathering, editing and dissemination of newsworthy information to the public.[1][2][3][4] Some such principles are sometimes in tension with non-Western and Indigenous ways of doing journalism.[5]

Like many broader ethical systems, the journalism ethics include the principle of "limitation of harm". This may involve enhanced respect for vulnerable groups and the withholding of certain details from reports, such as the names of minor children, crime victims' names, or information not materially related to the news report where the release of such information might, for example, harm someone's reputation or put them at undue risk.[6][7] There has also been discussion and debate within the journalism community regarding appropriate reporting of ******* and mental health, particularly with regard to verbiage.[8]

Tell me why you think adding your label to it absolves them of any and all responsibilities.

Tell me what is illegal, immoral,. or unethical, about the infotainment industry providing infotainment.

Be specific. No one wants to hear your "because I said so" argument, or "everyone knows", or "you're just stupid", like you usually do.
Explain the laws being broken. Explain the ethics violated. Explain the lack of morality.

Ands while you're at it, tell me what your last three posts have ANYTHING to do with your complaints.

Waiting for Rob to pay attention is about as likely as him putting that Sony HU in his boat.

I gotta go to work lol. Can't wait around for Rob to explain how Trump is being Trump while he blames the victims of the liberal medias lies and deceptions while reporting the news.

What stations do you consider "Infotainment"?

Any station that is not owned by the government. All private stations are entertainment or infotainment.

If you dislike the idea of private industry acting like private industry, it's just another indication that you would prefer we be under a Communist regime. Freedom is obviously not something you like or want.

Nope. It's a Lund 2450 with a Merc inboard, a 25HP kicker, and autopilot.
Ever been on the water next to a 730foot freighter? It's pretty humbling.

The trailer in the driveway, the boat in the slip:

Amazing how it doesn't bother you in the least to be wrong so incredibly often.

What "victims" am I "blaming"? The people who choose to watch infotainment?
You mean I shouldn't say they chose to watch it, but were instead FORCED to watch it?
They are the victims of the mass media taking over their TV?

Wow.

Some people are "victimized" by these organizations. We have no way, of knowing how many people were influenced by the left's overselling of the jab, but certainly it swayed some people's opinion. Furthermore, these organizations market themselves as news, not propaganda, not entertainment, etc.

So you simultaneously acknowledge that infotainment acts without regard for ethics & morality, but then Thx owes some sort of accounting of what immoral & unethical actions they are involved in?

The sure do focus on the news aspect of their business despite it being a minority of their content.

You'll never win the argument...Rob has used these same outlets he calls "infotainment" as "facts" to back up his "rightness"...

Whatever position he needs to take to be able to argue is what he stands for...
