NPR publishes internal newsroom policies and ethics guidelines

NPR published a searchable database of Standards & Practices Editor Mark Memmott’s columns about newsroom policies. The columns expand on topics from how reporters should ask sources their pronoun preferences to how corrections should be handled. Having these published online not only helps uphold newsroom standards internally but also demonstrates transparency to their audience. This work was done independently from Trusting News but embodies the work we do.
