NPR creates searchable ethics handbook

Published on April 8, 2020 by Mollie Muchna | Reading Time: < 1 minute

NPR published its ethics handbook and made it searchable so people could easily find information about the organization’s policies and practices. The handbook goes over topics ranging from how NPR decides when to use anonymous sources to how the newsroom strives to represent diverse people and perspectives. The policies are written in clear, straightforward language so it is easy for anyone — especially people outside of journalism — to understand. *This work was done independently from Trusting News but embodies the work we do.*
