Resources

One of the goals of our project is to provide information which our Public Broadcasting and Public Media colleagues have created during this project and over the previous years. Each working gruop paper provides the background for the Code of Editorial Integrity.  As you and your organizations debate and apply standards to your everyday activities we hope these resources are helpful.
