Ethics
Resources for Editors
We encourage every b2b publication to adhere to an
established ethics policy. While there may be some
regional differences to be found in different
organizations' policies, the same core journalistic
ethics should come through. TABPI does not maintain
its own ethics guidelines, but we provide this list of
journalism-related ethics links as a resource for all
b2b editors.
In particular, the recently revised Guide to
Preferred Editorial Practices from the American
Society of Business Publication Editors is an
excellent starting point for any organization to
develop their own ethics guidelines or standards.
To suggest an ethics-related site for this list,
please email us at info@tabpi.org.
