American Society of Newspaper
Editors/Poynter Ethics Tool
The Ethics Tool
is designed to help journalists develop
solutions to ethics problems. It
poses a series of questions about your
ethics case, then
compiles your responses in a document you
can print. The tool also lets you invite
others to work on the problem with you
and upload relevant
documents.
Only you and the people you invite are
able to view the case; secure socket encryption
protects your case.
