PROFESSIONAL ETHICS & RESPONSIBILITY
In preparation for college and journalism career readiness, students will be expected to reflect ethics and professionalism in their daily behavior, both in and out of school.
The skills of communication, honesty and integrity, collaboration, teamwork, optimal effort in one’s work and the ability to meet deadlines in a timely manner are necessary for success. Therefore, it is important that students begin to learn to develop these skills in high school in order to be prepared for life and career success.
As in the working world, EMAC media students will carry press passes from class to class. Students will be required to bring them to class every day. The passes will allow students to have access, with teacher permission, to move about the school building in order to work on projects, interview subjects, take photos or video. The press pass can be revoked by teachers for violating professional ethics and responsibilities. Revocation of press passes will remove the right to access and students will not be allowed to leave the classroom to complete projects or collaborate with other students, or teachers who may not be in their class.
