The National Union of Journalists -- of which I'm a member -- has responded to the rise of citizen journalism by launching a Code of Practice for CJ.

The NUJ says the Code "sets down ways in which organisations and individuals can maintain the highest professional and ethical standards in the new media environment."

In addition to its membership categories for staffers and freelancers, and separate branches for members in Radio or TV, newspapers or PR, will the NUJ now open a new section for citizen journalists?
