Code of Ethics
​
-
Kindness- I will go out of my way to show kindness to those I work for and with, such as remembering birthdays and having meaningful conversations. My beliefs as a Chrisitan inspire me to serve others.
-
Positivity- When I show up to work I will do my best to be positive in that environment. I will show up to work with a smile and optimistic attitude. As a person surrounded by positive mentors I wish to share that feeling of optimism.
-
Honesty- I will be transparent at work with what I have and haven’t accomplished that day. Also I will be forthright with credit and give it to those that deserve it. My parents taught me to be honest in all your dealings, so I do my best to follow that counsel.
-
Loyalty- My word will be my bond with whatever contract I sign and I will meet whatever deadline I promise to meet. The company I work for can expect my attention to be solely on them and not looking at other workplaces. I learned loyalty from my parents that you stay with those that extend a helping hand.
-
Diligence- I will be responsible with the workload I am given and complete the tasks I’m given citing no excuses. Deadline extensions should not be expected from me. I came to understand diligence through my days as a Boy Scout receiving the rank of Eagle.
-
Reliable- I am willing to come into work at a moment's notice if that is what my employer needs. It doesn't matter if it is a holiday or my day off. If my employer calls, I will be there. My stepfather taught me about what it means to be reliable through his example.
-
Helpful- When I come into work I will be more than happy to assist any colleagues in their tasks. My time in church service showed me that helping others can literally change lives for the better.
-
Conclusion
-
My personal code of ethics will ultimately dictate how my career and legacy will be. If I truly live by this code of ethics the world of journalism will gain some much needed integrity. I’ll have shared some goodness and light, in a world that only seems to value selfishness and disagreement. I can be a force for good and honesty, being someone my family can be proud of.
