| Ethics in the working life of journalists is the subject of a series of cases provided by the IU School of Journalism online. Professor David Boeyink of the school, explains that the actual cases were created for teachers, researchers, professional journalists and consumers of news to help them understand the issues facing the news media.
The cases cover a variety of ethical problems such as privacy, conflict of interest, reporter-source relationships and the role of journalists in their communities. The cases are part of a series developed by Barry Bingham Jr. and published in his newsletter, FineLine. Boeyink received permission from Bingham for their use, and teachers, researchers and those just plain interested may download them. There is a list of the case topics.
