Emma's quick-reference guide to journalism ethics.
When your working on deadline and need refresher, no Dan Rather's here....
1. See the story, hear the story, report the story...accurately.
2. R-E-S-P-E-C-T...find out what it means to me...you, interview subjects, co-workers, random MOS, ranting man that calls the newsroom everyday.
3. I am Miss/Mr Independent! (No, not the Kelly Clarkson song) Don't take bribes, don't date sources, avoid conflicts of interest, be fair and professional.
4. Be accountable! Double check facts, don't get defensive when someone else fact checks, show good taste, and disclose any unavoidable conflicts upfront.

Cute CSI cop: "Hey after I get done investigating this crime scene, would you like to get a drink with me so we can discuss this case in-depth? I have a lot of good details for your story..."
Smart, savvy reporter: "No thanks. I just consulted my 'Emthics' quick-reference guide, and it says that I shouldn't date sources because it could turn into a conflict of interest."
Crazy, ranting person calling the newsroom: "HELLO! IDIOT, WHY DID YOU SHOW A PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE ON YOUR STATION? I DON'T WANT TO SEE MORONS ON TV...YOU'RE A MORON, I'M NEVER WATCHING AGAIN!"
Calm, level-headed, respectful reporter answering phone: "Well, we don't have any control over network programming. We are only a local affiliate. I'm very sorry that you're upset, but you are yelling at the wrong person..."
Crazy, ranting person: "WELL IT'S NOT LIKE I CAN CALL UP CHARLES GIBSON AND TELL HIM HE'S AN IDIOT...IDIOT!"

Get the Emthics mug.emphorviate: a word substituted for a word that the writer is unable at the time to think of or appropriate for a definitive meaning. Common suffixes apply. Pronounced as "m4v8".
The word EMPHORVIATE was invented by me several years ago and used many times without question except for one time when used in an essay at school. When I questioned my teacher why it could not be accepted she stated that the word was not in common dictionaries and fixed in such dictionaries by their authorities. When we discussed the fact that society gives this authority and I am a member of society my teacher accepted the word by upgrading the mark she had previously had given on my essay.
Example of usage: I am sure that this above definition will be emphorviating to some readers.

Get the Empitimif mug.Empriss is a beautiful girl. She always has so many friends. She drops the jaws of men and women. She’s flawless. If you see her in public be sure to compliment her. She’s usually very insecure and doesn’t go out much. Once you have her you have her, if you lose her you don’t regain her back. She has trust issues from past relationships so don’t ruin yours. She’s got a big booty, too!
person one: Damn, who’s that fine ass girl?
person two: Fuck, dude, she’s gotta be an Empriss.
person one: Yeah, bro. For sure an Empriss.
