Media ethics contest

Journalists can submit an essay on media ethics to a contest.

The Center for International Media Ethics (CIME) is seeking entries for its "Ethicontest," an essay-writing competition open to journalists, freelancers and students worldwide.

This year's submissions should discuss the ethical pitfalls of news photography in conflict and disaster zones and how journalists should choose what to publish.

The winner will be awarded a scholarship to become certified in J-ethinomics, an online course combining journalism, ethics and economics and a book entitled "The Elements of Journalism: What Newspeople Should Know and the Public Should Expect" by Bill Kovach and Tom Rosenstiel.

The winning essay will be published on the CIME site and in their newsletter.

Essays must be written in English and no longer than 2,000 words. If essays have already been published, include a reference to the original publication.

The submission deadline is November 30.
