As news production and consumption evolves with its technology, ethics are also bound to change form. The Online News Association is tackling this with a crowdsourced ethics code project: Build Your Own Ethics Code, now ready for your input.

Though still in draft form, the project covers a base of 40 ethical issues along traditional lines. Those ready to fill in answers from their ethical barometer must first agree on a basic set of rules.

Once these standards are set, the project branches off into varied digital terrain, including explorations of quoting/sourcing from social media, deleting items from online archives, and suicide coverage.

The project was created by 20 volunteer writers and editors with the principle that there is no "one size fits all" for ethics codes in a field as diverse as journalism.
