Two-page introduction and 13 case studies (26 pages). Prepared by the lead author in cooperation with the AAEA Affiliate Advisory Committee., Case studies written to illustrate the values and principles identified in the AAEA Affiliate Code of Ethics. Each study outlines a hypothetical situation involving an ethical dilemma that an agricultural communications professional might encounter and poses six discussion questions. The discussion guide offers suggested answers and discussion topics. These case studies are used in conjunction with the Affiliate Code of Ethics and are intended to offer practice in recognizing, discussing and resolving ethical dilemmas.
James F. Evans Collection; Paper presented at the 1989 Annual Conference of Agricultural Communicators in Education; 1989 July; Portland, OR, Responses from a mail survey of 190 journalists who work for farm journals -- a 78 response rate -- reveal that about two thirds of the journalists say advertisers have threatened their journals on occasion, and about one-half say that advertising has actually been withdrawn. The journalists also report that advertisers sometimes attempt to win over journalists with gifts, free meals, or in other ways, usually not with success. These journalists report that most farm publications do not have a clear policy in dealing with advertiser influence. At the same time, most farm journals are struggling to maintain advertising, a struggle that makes them vulnerable to pressures.
