HISTORICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION The United States Associated Press (AP) got its start in 1846. Today the Press is a conglomeration of thousands of reporters from papers and news media outlets all across the country. The AP issues standards of practice and a code of ethics for reporters and photographers: “Always and in all media, we insist on the highest standards of integrity and ethical behavior when we gather and deliver the news. as of 03/25/2021 ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOTOGRAPH COLLECTION, MS409 That means we abhor inaccuracies, carelessness, bias or distortions. It means we will not knowingly introduce false information into material intended for publication or broadcast; nor will we alter photo or image content. Quotations must be accurate, and precise. It means we always strive to identify all the sources of our information, shielding them with anonymity only when they insist upon it and when they provide vital information – not opinion or speculation; when there is no other way to obtain that information; and when we know the source is knowledgeable and reliable. It means we don’t plagiarize. It means we avoid behavior or activities that create a conflict of interest and compromise our ability to report the news fairly and accurately, uninfluenced by any person or action. It means we don’t misidentify or misrepresent ourselves to get a story. When we seek an interview, we identify ourselves as AP journalists. It means we don’t pay newsmakers for interviews, to take their photographs or to film or record them. It means we must be fair. Whenever we portray someone in a negative light, we must make a real effort to obtain a response from that person. When mistakes are made, they must be corrected – fully, quickly and ungrudgingly. And ultimately, it means it is the responsibility of every one of us to ensure that these standards are upheld. Any time a question is raised about any aspect of our work, it should be taken seriously.” Quoted from https://www.ap.org/about/our-story/news-values, retrieved 11/09/2017.
