The NUJ Code of Conduct
These codes of professional conduct have been produced by the NUJ. They set out the main principles that journalists should abide by.

National Union of Journalists (NUJ)
The NUJ has a proud record of defending free speech, media freedom, the safety of their members on assignments and journalists’ pay and working conditions.

Student Media and Students’ Unions
"Student media often tends to be a forgotten aspect of union life. However, it is vital that this relationship is strong if any attempt to develop a union's communications policy is made."

Recruitment and running a team
"Your staff will have immense pride in the finished product and they will need to feel a sense of ownership in what is finally produced."

How to conduct an interview
"The most successful interviews in both broadcast and print are conducted by well-briefed journalists, who can make their guest feel relaxed and able to make their point."

Defining and pleasing your audience
"How can you make your student media good, appealing and interesting, when it seems as though the students at your institution are uninterested and overly-critical?"

Budgeting and raising revenue
"Running student media can sometimes be like running a small business. It can be a constant struggle to balance the books, chase up debting advertisers and find fresh accounts to raise the extra money."

Advertising and Sponsorship
"Raising advertising and sponsorship is a difficult business. You will need to be imaginative, determined and persistent if you are to increase your media outlets income."
