You’re right—journalism ethics do exist. That’s not the issue. The issue is there’s no public-facing structure that shows who’s committed to them, or holds anyone visibly accountable when they’re violated. The NEAA framework proposes a way to make those standards transparent and enforceable—while also allowing them to evolve through a consensus-based, open process. It’s not rewriting journalism ethics. It’s giving them structure, consequence, and public utility. But you're also right to point out the phrasing. I didn’t mean I created a new set of journalism ethics. What I developed is a structural framework for making existing ethical standards visible and enforceable — voluntarily and publicly.
