Feel free to remind them that the Society of Professional Journalists has a Code of Ethics. You can get free PDF versions in page & poster size as well as handy two sided bookmarks.

“Remember that neither speed nor format excuses inaccuracy.”

“Recognize that legal access to information differs from an ethical justification to publish or broadcast.”

“Avoid pandering to lurid curiosity, even if others do.”
