The Associated Press Sports Editors has updated its ethics recommendations for member organizations for 2025.
This document previously was shared with members as part of the membership directory booklet that was sent early each year. However, when APSE converted to an online-only directory, the list of recommendations stayed static.
Thanks to the officers and others that were involved in updating these recommendations. While we know many of our members work for companies that have ethics standards and guidelines in place, APSE is continuing to grow among independent newsrooms, Substack and website owners and others.
You can find these recommendations at this link, and they will also be under the “More” dropdown at the top of our website.
We hope these recommendations can provide you with guidance in future decision-making. As always, don’t hesitate to reach out to an APSE officer, as well as Legal Affairs and Ethics Committee leaders John Cherwa and Gerry Ahern with any concerns you encounter in the future.
