#1: MEAA Journalist Code of Ethics 101

In session 101, get a general overview of the history and objectives of the code, how the complaints process works and how it can build trust in journalism.

#2: Handle with care: Reporting with respect for privacy, grief and trauma

This second session focuses on using fair, responsible and honest means to obtain material. In the digital age, the “death doorknock” has been replaced with the social media stalk.
