"With information from governments, media councils, journalists and broadcasts, Jones has compiled a succinct study of codes generally and of a few specifically. His aim is "to bring together some of the background information and to advance some o ... f the arguments needed to help media people and others concerned to make up their own minas in accordance with their own needs and circumstances." In a "World Survey" he has chosen 49 countries for an analysis of their codes and the conditions underlying them, and in an appendix has given the codes for Australia, Canada, Egypt, India, Japan, Sweden, Great Britain, and the U.S.A., along with organizational codes for the International Federation of Journalists, the European Community, the International Organization of Journalists, and the UN and UNESCO. There is also a section on "Mass Media Councils in Third World Countries." This is excellent source material for any individuals or countries interested either in devising or revising journalistic codes of ethics." (Eleanor Blum, Frances G. Wilhoit: Mass media bibliography. 3rd ed. Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1990 Nr. 221) more
