Journalists, like accountants, are in the business of generating information. The Society of Professional Journalists, Sigma Delta Chi, has a code of ethics that has existed (with updates) since 1926. The code of ethics can be found at http:/ /.town.hall.org/places/spi/ethics.html. Read the code of ethics for journalists and compare it with the code of ethics provided in the chapter from the Institute of Management Accountants. What do the differences between the codes suggest are major differences between the professions of accounting and journalism? What do the similarities between the codes suggest are major similarities be¬ tween the two professions?
