conflicts of interest  

Definition

  • Conflicts of interest in journalism can exist on both the individual and institutional level. Codes of ethics or outright rules traditionally seek to maintain professional distance between reporters and their sources, while keeping news organizations free from financial or other pressures that could potentially bias their news products.
