Reuters’ Handbook of Journalism goes online in full

“The handbook is the guidance Reuters journalists live by – and we’re proud of it,” writes Dean Wright, global editor, for ethics, innovation and news standards at Reuters.
“Until now, it hasn’t been freely available to the public. In the early 1990s, a printed handbook was published and in 2006 the Reuters Foundation published a relatively short PDF online that gave some basic guidance to reporters. But it’s only now that we’re putting the full handbook online.”
