Ethics in the Media – SPJ’S New Code of Ethics

The Central Ohio Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists will join the student chapter at Ohio State University Thursday, Oct. 2, to host a free discussion about Ethics in the Media and SPJ’s new Code of Ethics, featuring Kevin Z. Smith, Central Ohio Pro board member, who recently received SPJ’s highest award for his leadership in revising the Code of Ethics for the first time since 1996.

Smith, the deputy director of the Kiplinger Program in Public Affairs Journalism at OSU, received the Wells Memorial Key at SPJ’s national convention in Nashville earlier this month.

The ethics event will be a discussion of media ethics and include professional and student journalists sharing real world examples of what they have encountered in the field.

It will be held on OSU’s campus in Room 106 of the Journalism Building, 242 W. 18th Ave., and will begin promptly at 6 p.m. Pizza and soda will be served.

This event is free and open to all!
