The code of ethics for journalists was developed in 1983 by the international journalism community to provide moral and responsible guidelines for carrying true information to audiences while rejecting anything that could harm people emotionally or physically. It outlines recommendations for journalists' relationships with their audience, sources of information, publicized individuals, colleagues, and authorities. The code constitution prohibits using journalism status for personal gain, following criminal codes, and engaging in war encouragement or propaganda. It also establishes journalists' rights to access information from organizations, attend events, and publish documents, recordings, and photographs obtained.
