15. ETHIC CODES OR SELFREGULATION
As mentioned above, the Dominican Association of Journalists
has a code of ethics for journalists. This code applies to licensed
journalists who are regulated by a disciplinary tribunal.
The code establishes rules of conduct that licensed journalists
must follow in their professional practice. Among the rules: Do
not spread false information, report objectively, do not falsify
information to be published, etc. The court may even order the job
suspensions of journalists who violate the code.
