"The Accountable Journalism database compiles international codes of media ethics from around the world and is the largest resource of its kind. This database can be sorted by keywords or by using the advanced search. Codes can be selected by type of organization, topic, region, year created or updated and country. This database is very much still a work in process and far from comprehensive! Through our crowdsourcing initiative we are asking media professionals to send us their respective code of ethics or an update to contact@accountablejournalism.org.
Most of the 400+ codes listed here were drafted and adopted by an individual outlet (e.g. a newspaper), a sector of the media industry (e.g. broadcasting), a union/ association of journalists, a press council or a press club. The exceptions consist of synthetic codes, codes imposed by a government or codes recommended by international bodies or activists. Some codes are specialized. Most are general. They differ in length from half a page to more than 50 pages — but they rarely differ on basic principles." (Introduction)
