The document outlines 9 core principles of journalism:
1. Truth - Journalism's first obligation is to the truth by pursuing practical journalistic truth through verifying facts and providing transparency.
2. Loyalty to citizens - Journalism's first loyalty is to citizens over other interests by providing a representative picture of society.
3. Discipline of verification - Journalism relies on verifying information through transparent methods to avoid biases undermining accuracy.
4. Independence - Journalists must maintain independence from those they cover to ensure reliability and avoid favoritism.

The SPJ Code of Ethics is a statement of abiding principles supported by additional explanations and position papers (at spj.org) that address changing journalistic
practices. It is not a set of rules, rather a guide that encourages all who engage in journalism to take responsibility for the information they provide, regardless of medium.
This presentation is for use when covering media ethics in an introductory mass media course. Includes media organization ethics, the need for ethics, types of ethics, ethical media examples.

“Journalism without a moral position is impossible. Every journalist is a moralist. It's absolutely unavoidable. A journalist is someone who looks at the world and the way it works, someone who takes a close look at things every day and reports what she sees, someone who represents the world, the event, for others.”
~ Marguerite Duras

While some of us know what a journalist does, it is fair to say that we have a role to play in the society we live in. There are nine principles that govern our job. Once we are aware of these principles, how do we get to writing a news story?

Stephen R. Covey's book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People®, has been a top-seller for the simple reason that it ignores trends and pop psychology for proven principles of fairness, integrity, honesty, and human dignity. Celebrating its fifteenth year of helping people solve personal and professional problems, this special anniversary edition includes a new foreword and afterword written by Covey exploring the question of whether the 7 Habits are still relevant and answering some of the most common questions he has received over the past 15 years.

Kulen Mineral Water - NOW, EVERY CAMBODIAN CAN DRINK HEALTHY, NATURAL MINERAL...Chormvirak Moulsem
In the context of my studies, I had to do a three months internship in a foreign country. So I was looking for a good internship and a good country. I’m very interested by the wine business and the wine in general. So I wanted to do my internship in this sector to learn more about the marketing tools, strategies and habits of this market. Then, I was very attracted by the Asia, not by a special place but I really wanted to discover this continent.
By my network, I knew that a French businessman has created his own company in Cambodia. A marketing company which offer to communicate for big wine’s producers all around the world. I’ve heard that at this time, the company got one head office in Singapore, one operative unit in China and a representative office in Cambodia. So it sounds very interesting for me and in May 2013, I decided to apply to get an internship in the head office of Singapore.
Unfortunately, the company was not able to offer me an internship of three months in the head office because they don’t use to offer less than 6 months internship and also because they were already full in Singapore. But after one month, the CEO, M. Olivry emails me again to offer me an internship of three months in Cambodia mainly focused on the a mineral water local brand called “Kulara Water”. So, even if it was not what I expected first, after consideration, I accepted the offer. Mainly because all I’ve heard and ridden about Cambodia was very interesting and also because the mineral water is a very interesting product and market to develop in Cambodia.
To summarize, I prepared my first trip Alone, in Asia, during Three months. I think these are the main difficulties I’ve found in my internship. First, I had to change my way of think, understand a new culture and adapt myself to this country. This, I had to do it alone, with no parents here to take care, no friends etc… And of course, it’s not holidays in a five stars hotel during three weeks, no. Three months of living in the Khmer1 lifestyle.
20 liters per person per day from a source within 1 kilometer of the household is deemed sufficient for adequate drinking and personal hygiene.
Rural areas lag far behind cities in access to water with more than 653 million people using an unimproved water source or ground water.
In Siem Reap, it’s estimated that 4.6 million water bottles are generated by the tourism industry alone. That’s not including local consumption. That figure is based on the average visitor stay and daily consumption, and number of visitors per year.

Comparative of Judaism’s Fasting and Islamic’s Fasting. Religion is the key that we well-known as the way to teach people live in an exceptional life. When people committed to different religious traditions come together to discuss common themes, they often find their own practices and understandings enriched and enlightened.

In the world’s history there are 3 main monotheistic religion which existed since the first world civilization born such as Judaism, Islamic and Christianity. These three main religion seem very similar to each other because they believe in only one god, they believe their religion’s bible which mean the Judaism believe in Torah while Islamic believe in Quran and Christianity believe in The new and the old testament yet the history of the bible has shown that they came from the same resource in Israel. In addition, Fasting is one of the most ritual in these religion notably Fasting between Judaism and Islamic.

Romeo and Juliet is a classic literature which written by William Shakespare in the Renaissance period. The story was about the love argument of a couple because of their family feud. In the story we see two character which came from the royal family and have high rank in the city like The Prince and Mercutio. Even thought, they were the kin men but Mercutio and The Prince are completely different of their appearance or attitude, character trait as well as their action in the story.
In the plot of the story, we can see that Mercutio was a young boy who is temperamental and brave. He sometimes funny and like to play a lot with his friends like Romeo. Mercutio also a helpful man who can assist as advise and never betrayed his friends. In contrast, The Prince Escalus was a mature old man who represent of the law in the story. Not like Mercutio The Prince can control his anger and can solve the problem peacefully. His work in the story was very rigorous and justice.

This bachelor thesis is focused on the relationship between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and
employee performance. The thesis is a literature research and thus a review by the work of others.
In earlier research on this topic conducted by Vroom (1964) was concluded that a positive
correlation between motivation and performance did not exist. However, later research proved
that it is indeed possible to motivate employees intrinsically and extrinsically to perform well. It
appears that when the organisation provides certain job characteristics, employees can be
motivated to perform well in the organisation. And it also appeared that intrinsic factors have
more effect on the relationship than extrinsic factors.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Commitment to Excellence
2. CONTENTS
1 Journalism Ethics
2 Striving for Accuracy & Fairness
3 Independent & Transparent
4 Keeping Promises
5 Respecting Diversity
6 Accountable
7 Nine Core Principles of
Journalism
3. 1 JOURNALISM ETHICS
• A rule or standard, especially of good
behavior in doing journalism.
• The collectivity of moral or ethical
standards or judgments: A decision
based on principle rather than
expediency (passable, satisfactory).
• A fixed or predetermined policy or mode
of action.
4. 2 STRIVING FOR ACCURACY & FAIRNESS
• We avoid allowing our biases to influence our
reporting.
• We disclose conflicts of interest.
• We give people, companies or organizations that
are criticized in our reporting the opportunity to
present their points of view prior to publication.
• We respect people’s civil rights, including the
rights to privacy and a fair trial.
• We don’t alter photos, videos or sound in ways
that mislead the public.
6. 3 INDEPENDENT & TRANSPARENT
• We don’t give favored treatment to advertisers and
special interests.
• We don’t accept or solicit gifts or favors from those
we might cover.
• We don’t report about subjects in which we have a
financial interest.
• We don’t participate in movements and activities that
we cover.
• Editorial boards and columnists or commentators
endorse political candidates or causes. Reporters do
not.
• We generally don’t conceal our identities. When, on
rare occasions, a reporter needs to go “undercover”
in the public interest, we will clearly explain why.
7. 4 KEEPING PROMISES
• We identify sources of information,
except when there is a clear and
pressing reason to protect anonymity.
• We explain the need for anonymity
when we decide to grant it.
• We independently corroborate facts
given by unnamed sources.
• If we promise to protect a source’s
identity, we do so.
8. 5 RESPECTING DIVERSITY
• We seek to capture in our stories the
diverse values, viewpoints and lives of
the people in our communities.
• We avoid stereotypes of race, gender,
age, religion, ethnicity, geography,
sexual orientation, gender
identification, disability, physical
appearance and social status.
• We will not refer to a person’s race,
color or religion unless it is pertinent.
10. 6 ACCOUNTABLE
• We will answer to the public for
our reporting and conduct.
• When we make a mistake, we
correct it promptly and
ungrudgingly, and in a manner
that matches the seriousness of
the error.
11. 7 NINE CORE PRINCIPLES OF JOURNALISM
• Listening and talking with
journalists and others about what
defines “journalism,” what
emerges out of those
conversations are the following
nine core principles of journalism:
13. TRUTH
Journalism’s first obligation is to the truth.
• Democracy depends on citizens having reliable,
accurate facts put in a meaningful context.
• Journalism does not pursue truth in an absolute or
philosophical sense, but it can–and must–pursue it
in a practical sense.
• This “journalistic truth” is a process that begins with
the professional discipline of assembling and
verifying facts.
• Then journalists try to convey a fair and reliable
account of their meaning, valid for now, subject to
further investigation.
14. TRUTH
• Journalists should be as transparent as possible
about sources and methods so audiences can make
their own assessment of the information.
• Even in a world of expanding voices, accuracy is the
foundation upon which everything else is built–
context, interpretation, comment, criticism, analysis,
and debate.
• The truth, over time, emerges from this forum.
• As citizens encounter an ever greater flow of data,
they have more need–not less–for identifiable
sources dedicated to verifying that information and
putting it in context.
15. 7.2 LOYALTY
Its first loyalty is to citizens.
• While news organizations answer to many
constituencies, including advertisers and
shareholders, the journalists in those
organizations must maintain allegiance to
citizens and the larger public interest above any
other if they are to provide the news without fear
or favor.
• This commitment to citizens first is the basis of a
news organization’s credibility, the implied
covenant that tells the audience the coverage is
not slanted for friends or advertisers.
16. LOYALTY
• Commitment to citizens also means journalism
should present a representative picture of all
constituent groups in society.
• Ignoring certain citizens has the effect of
disenfranchising them.
• The theory underlying the modern news industry has
been the belief that credibility builds a broad and
loyal audience, and that economic success follows in
turn.
• In that regard, the business people in a news
organization also must nurture–not exploit–their
allegiance to the audience ahead of other
considerations.
17. 7.3 DISCIPLINE OF VERIFICATION
Its essence is a discipline of verification.
• Journalists rely on a professional discipline for
verifying information.
• When the concept of objectivity originally evolved, it
did not imply that journalists are free of bias.
• It called, rather, for a consistent method of testing
information–a transparent approach to evidence–
precisely so that personal and cultural biases would
not undermine the accuracy of their work.
• The method is objective, not the journalist.
• Seeking out multiple witnesses, disclosing as much
as possible about sources, or asking various sides for
comment, all signal such standards.
18. DISCIPLINE OF VERIFICATION
• This discipline of verification is what
separates journalism from other modes of
communication, such as propaganda,
fiction, or entertainment.
• But the need for professional method is not
always fully recognized or refined.
• While journalism has developed various
techniques for determining facts, for
instance, it has done less to develop a
system for testing the reliability of
journalistic interpretation.
19. 7.4 INDEPENDENCY
Its practitioners must maintain an
independence from those they cover.
• Independence is an underlying
requirement of journalism, a
cornerstone of its reliability.
• Independence of spirit and mind,
rather than neutrality, is the principle
journalists must keep in focus.
20. INDEPENDENCY
• While editorialists and
commentators are not neutral, the
source of their credibility is still their
accuracy, intellectual fairness and
ability to inform–not their devotion to
a certain group or outcome.
• In our independence, however, we
must avoid any tendency to stray into
arrogance, elitism, isolation, or
nihilism.
21. 7.5 INDEPENDENT MONITOR OF POWER
It must serve as an independent monitor of
power.
• Journalism has an unusual capacity to serve as
watchdog over those whose power and position
most affect citizens.
• The Founders recognized this to be a rampart
against despotism when they ensured an
independent press; courts have affirmed it;
citizens rely on it.
• As journalists, we have an obligation to protect
this watchdog freedom by not demeaning it in
frivolous use or exploiting it for commercial gain.
23. 7.6 FORUM FOR PUBLIC CRITICISM & COMPROMISE
It must provide a forum for public
criticism and compromise.
• The news media are the common
carriers of public discussion, and this
responsibility forms a basis for our
special privileges.
• This discussion serves society best
when it is informed by facts rather
than prejudice and supposition.
24. FORUM FOR PUBLIC CRITICISM & COMPROMISE
• It also should strive to fairly represent
the varied viewpoints and interests in
society, and to place them in context
rather than highlight only the
conflicting fringes of debate.
• Accuracy and truthfulness require that
as framers of the public discussion we
do not neglect the points of common
ground where problem solving occurs.
26. 7.7 MAKE THE SIGNIFICANT
INTERESTING & RELEVANT
It must strive to make the significant
interesting and relevant.
• Journalism is storytelling with a purpose.
It should do more than gather an
audience or catalogue the important.
• For its own survival, it must balance
what readers know they want with what
they cannot anticipate but need.
• In short, it must strive to make the
significant interesting and relevant.
27. MAKE THE SIGNIFICANT
INTERESTING & RELEVANT
• The effectiveness of a piece of journalism is
measured both by how much a work
engages its audience and enlightens it.
• This means journalists must continually ask
what information has most value to citizens
and in what form.
• While journalism should reach beyond such
topics as government and public safety, a
journalism overwhelmed by trivia and false
significance ultimately engenders a trivial
society.
28. 7.8 KEEP THE NEWS COMPREHENSIVE
& PROPORTIONAL
It must keep the news comprehensive and
proportional.
• Keeping news in proportion and not leaving
important things out are also cornerstones of
truthfulness.
• Journalism is a form of cartography: it creates
a map for citizens to navigate society.
• Inflating events for sensation, neglecting
others, stereotyping or being
disproportionately negative all make a less
reliable map.
29. KEEP THE NEWS COMPREHENSIVE &
PROPORTIONAL
• The map also should include news of all
our communities, not just those with
attractive demographics.
• This is best achieved by newsrooms with
a diversity of backgrounds and
perspectives.
• The map is only an analogy; proportion
and comprehensiveness are subjective,
yet their elusiveness does not lessen their
significance.
30. 7.9 EXERCISE OF PERSONAL CONSCIENCE
Its practitioners must be allowed to
exercise their personal conscience.
• Every journalist must have a personal
sense of ethics and responsibility–a
moral compass.
• Each of us must be willing, if fairness and
accuracy require, to voice differences
with our colleagues, whether in the
newsroom or the executive suite.
35. EXERCISE OF PERSONAL CONSCIENCE
• News organizations do well to nurture
this independence by encouraging
individuals to speak their minds.
• This stimulates the intellectual diversity
necessary to understand and
accurately cover an increasingly
diverse society.
• It is this diversity of minds and voices,
not just numbers, that matters.
