• Sports journalism

Main article: Sports journalism

Sports covers many aspects of human athletic competition, and is an integral part of most journalism products, including newspapers, magazines, and radio and television news broadcasts. While some critics don't consider sports journalism to be true journalism, the prominence of sports in Western culture has justified the attention of journalists to not just the competitive events in sports, but also to athletes and the business of sports.

Sports journalism in the United States has traditionally been written in a looser, more creative and more opinionated tone than traditional journalistic writing; the emphasis on accuracy and underlying fairness is still a part of sports journalism. An emphasis on the accurate description of the statistical performances of athletes is also an important part of sports journalism.

Journalism ethics and standardscomprise principles ofethicsand of good practice as applicable to the specific challenges faced byjournalists. Historically and currently, this subset ofmedia ethicsis widely known to journalists as their professional "codeof ethics" or the "canons of journalism".[1]The basic codes and canons commonly appear in statements drafted by both professional journalism associations and individualprint,broadcast, andonlinenews 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.[2][3][4][5]

Like many broader ethical systems, journalism ethics include the principle of "limitation of harm." This often involves the withholding of certain details from reports such as the names ofminor children, crime victims' names or information not materially related to particular news reports release of which might, for example, harm someone's reputation.[6][7]

Some journalistic Codes of Ethics, notably the European ones,[8]also include a concern withdiscriminatoryreferences in news based onrace,religion,sexual orientation, and physical or mentaldisabilities.[9][10][11][12]TheParliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europeapproved in 1993 Resolution 1003 on the Ethics of Journalism which recommends journalists to respect thepresumption of innocence, in particular in cases that are stillsub judice.[13]
