That is the very definition of ethical courage.”

A blurred SPJ Code of Ethics in the background with the text "Meet the five who keep ethics alive" During Ethics Week, we honor these journalists who did the right thing
Associated Press “It would be easy, and understandable, to cave to intense pressure simply over a place name on a map or a story. But doing the right thing is not selective, dependent on whether it’s convenient or comfortable.” – Andy Schotz, former chair, SPJ Ethics Committee
Jeffrey Goldberg “His published responses were in keeping with important principles of the SPJ Code of Ethics.” Fred Brown, former chair, SPJ Ethics Committee
“The Indiana Daily did an admirable job covering this issue amid attacks by soon-to-be powerful forces in the government. They followed SPJ’s Code of Ethics to a T as they continued their dedication to truth and transparency under challenging and, I assume, scary circumstances.” – Danielle McLean, former chair, SPJ Ethics Committee
It’s been a rough year for journalism ethics, and there are still eight months to go. During #SPJEthicsWeek, the Ethics Committee identified five brave souls and organizations for sticking to their ethics despite the price they’ve paid: spjethics.org/five/

NLGJA joined @spj-posts.bsky.social in recognizing #SPJEthicsWeek by signing onto a joint statement reaffirming the vital role of ethical reporting in a functioning democracy. That statement also calls upon government officials to respect the role of a free press.
Full statement @ link in bio.
The Society of Professional Journalists and a coaltion of organizations dedicated to supporting and advancing journalism released a statement to affirm the vital role of ethical reporting in our democracy. SPJ has designated April 14-18 as Ethics Week to serve as a reminder of the responsibilities journalists carry and the standards that guide their work. It is also an opportunity to emphasize that ethical journalism is not a political act; it is a public service. SPJ plans to send the statement to all members of Congress. “At a time when government actions and rhetoric increasingly seek to undermine and delegitimize principled practitioners of our profession, we call on policymakers, community leaders and the public to recognize and defend the critical importance of ethical reporting,” the statement says.
SPJ and a coalition of organizations dedicated to supporting and advancing journalism reaffirm the essential role of ethical journalism in a functioning democracy during #SPJEthicsWeek.

music #journalism was in the 1960s, when music journalists would try to sleep with the lead singer of a band by writing about them. Like, that's not ethical, that's bullshit." -Michael Koretzky. #gamergate #gaming #spjethicsweek #spjairplay #history
