Question

which statements are examples of ethics rather than laws? select two options. journalists must claim their right to freedom of speech. journalists must double - check all sources used in an article. journalists cannot knowingly make false statements about people. journalists must research and report the news without bias. journalists cannot write an article in order to incite violence.

Explanation:

Ethics are moral principles guiding behavior, while laws are enforceable rules. Double - checking sources and reporting without bias are ethical standards in journalism, not legal requirements. Freedom of speech is a legal right, making false statements can be a legal issue (libel/slander), and inciting violence is illegal.

Answer:

B. Journalists must double - check all sources used in an article.
D. Journalists must research and report the news without bias.
