Abstract

The Communication Industry Association’s Code of Ethics outlines the ethical standards and principles for its members aiming to regulate professional conduct and behaviour related to the profession. It mandates adherence to public interest, transparency, honesty, and integrity in all professional activities. It emphasizes respect for democratic society interests, personal and professional responsibility, and the protection of human dignity and privacy. Members are required to foster transparent and ethical relationships with the media, social networks, and clients, ensuring accurate information dissemination and confidentiality. The Code also promotes professional prestige, mutual respect among members, and honourable competition. Violations are addressed by the Association’s honour court, with potential disciplinary actions including removal from the Association.
