Journalism ethics and standards comprise principles of ethics and of good practice as applicable to the specific challenges faced by journalists. Historically and currently, this subset of media ethics is widely known to journalists as their professional "code of ethics" or the "canons of journalism".〔 The basic codes and canons commonly appear in statements drafted by both professional journalism associations and individual print, broadcast, and online news organizations. While various existing codes have some differences, most share common elements including the principles of—truthfulness, accuracy, objectivity, impartiality, fairness and public accountability—as these apply to the acquisition of newsworthy information and its subsequent dissemination to the public.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Statement of Principles )〕〔(IFJ (International Federation of Journalists) - IFJ Declaration of Principles on the Conduct of Journalists )〕 Like many broader ethical systems, journalism ethics include the principle of "limitation of harm."
