Ethics guidelines for recent news

 With multiple mass shootings in recent weeks and as reporting on topics such as immigration becoming ever more complex, the journalism industry needs codes that meet the needs of a wide range of newsrooms. As a reminder, ONA’s Build Your Own Ethics Code tool can help your team develop guidelines to follow when faced with ethical issues. The chapters on accuracycovering children as well as hate speech and actions are especially relevant to recent news.

From the archives: OJAs in 2004

We are sharing resources and stories from the ONA archives throughout 2019, as we celebrate 20 years of inspiring innovation and excellence in digital journalism.

In honor of this week’s finalists announcement, we’re looking back to 2004, when there were just seven categories in the Online Journalism Awards. The newest categories that year included Specialty Journalism, which honored “Web sites and subsites that focus on a specific area of content, such as entertainment and the arts, sports, business, lifestyle and so on,” as well as two student categories to recognize journalism produced at universities. Today, the OJAs feature 37 categories, reflecting innovation and growth in the digital journalism industry.

Community stories

How has your ONA experience impacted your work and career? Contribute your story to #Happy20thONA.
My #happy20thONA story is ALL because of @amywebb. Followed her on Twitter in 2009 & joined @ONA for Webb Media Training discount. Went to #ONA10 in DC & met Amy as she was leaving. I was nervous. She was wonderful. She inspired me to run for the board. The rest is history! – Benét  Wilson
#ONA has been instrumental in our success. The #ChallengeFund got us off the ground and the #GrandPrize gave us the recognition and the resources to flourish. @ONA backed us when we were nothing more than an idea and they’ve assisted us ever since. #Happy20thONA And Many Thanks! – Georgia News Lab
For #Happy20thONA my first ONA conference was in 2003 in Evanston, and I moderated a panel on blogging with @jeffjarvis & @robcurley. I remember suggesting to @nytimes they should get Kurt Vonnegut to blog doodles for them. They just laughed, as if they’d EVER have a blog. – Ken Sands
