Communication: COMM 5660 Media & Ethics

The most common functions of the European codes is to show accountability to the public and the sources, and to protect the professional integrity of journalists from external interference.
Laitila, T. (1995). Journalistic codes of ethics in Europe. European Journal of Communication, 10(4), 527–544. https://doi.org/10.1177/0267323195010004007

The codes diverge, however, on each profession's view of its role in society. Journalists continue to emphasize duty to the public in their codes of ethics whereas many public relations codes focus on duty to the client or organization.
