Today the Society of Professional Journalists updated its Code of
Ethics in two ways pertinent to wikimedians and Wikimedia projects:
1. The term "journalist" has been replaced with references to
"journalism" in areas that were seen to perpetuate the idea that the
practice of journalism requires official credentials distinguishing
professionals from citizen journalists.
2. The Code now states that all advocacy journalism and commentary
should be labeled as such.
