“…As Pyle (2000) pointed out, the demands for profits "seem increasingly to override the ethical and professional standards of reporters and their editors". Schwartz (2000) contended that codes are ineffective systems of control, but in a later study concluded that they are effective in some situations and failed in others. Wotruba, Chonko and leo (2001) discovered that the usefulness of codes of ethics by managers as a tool for guiding behavior and decisions is strengthened as managers become familiar with the specific contents and intentions of codes.…”

This research was conducted to determine the role of journalists' gender, work experience and education in their ethical decisions in uncertain situations. The instrument used was structured and self-administered questionnaire. This quantitative descriptive study selected 231 full-time Malaysian journalists from five highly-circulated newspapers in April 2011. Non-probability sampling (convenience) was applied to collect the data and to estimate the characteristics of the whole population. The results showed that more than half (51.8%) of the 228 journalists made unfair decisions about seven short presumptive statuses, which were designed based on the Malaysia National Union of Journalists' codes of ethics. According to this study, neither gender nor journalism education made any difference in journalists' ethical decisions. The findings also showed the more work experience the journalists had, the more fair decisions they made in uncertain situations.

“…For example, Wright (1993) claimed that ethics statements are full of ''meaningless rhetoric'' (p. 18). In a similar vein, scholars have indicated that ethics statements are neither sufficient nor powerful enough to lead to ethical behaviors (Allen and Davis, 1993;Callan, 1992;Cleek and Leonard, 1998;Healey and Iles, 2002;Marnburg, 2000;McKendall et al, 2002;Schwartz, 2000;Snell and Herndon, 2004;Stevens, 1999). Higgs- Kleyn and Kapelianis (1999) demonstrated that there is no significant association between employees' perceptions of the penalties for violating ethics codes and the frequency with which employees actually disobey them.…”
