Comments on: IABC Code of Ethics http://blogs.iabc.com/chair/archives/2005/04/14/iabc-code-of-ethics/ A gathering place for professional communicators Wed, 07 Jan 2009 14:04:25 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Warren Bickford http://blogs.iabc.com/chair/archives/2005/04/14/iabc-code-of-ethics/#comment-1129 Warren Bickford Tue, 19 Apr 2005 17:49:59 +0000 http://blogs.iabc.com/chair/archives/2005/04/14/iabc-code-of-ethics/#comment-1129 I took a look at your full comments, Neville, and I agree that the "profession" has never done a good job promoting its various codes of ethics. I won't get into the debate about which code is the preferred code (although you could probably guess). Rather, I think it is important for all communicators to regularly review the code they agreed to follow. As you and I both know, there is rarely much black or white in the world, it is mostly grey. We all need to have a touchstone of sorts to help us wind our way through the complex communication environment. If nothing else, Neville, by openly talking about ethics, it keeps it more top of mind for everyone. I invite everyone to stop by the IABC Café and join the discussion.
