Star-Telegram Newsroom Code of Ethics - Fort Worth Star Telegram(How Pay Advances Work)
When possible, and with the prior written approval of the editor, the editorial director or a managing editor, staff members may work as free-lancers for newspapers, magazines, book publishers, news services, photo agencies or similar organizations. Staff members may do professional work, such as writing, editing, design, illustrating or photography, for pay for other organizations or individuals only with the prior written approval of a managing editor, the editor or the editorial director. Because those organizations may, at times, be subjects of news coverage or commentary, staff members should not accept appointments as directors of such organizations without the express permission of the editor, managing editor or editorial director. If any staff member becomes aware of an error in need of correction or an item in need of clarification in the work of another, the staff member will call that matter to the attention of a supervising editor as quickly as possible. The purpose of these guidelines is to assist employees and agents of the Star-Telegram in carrying out their duties and assignments associated with the Star-Telegram, and the provisions of the guidelines shall not create nor confer any rights or benefits on any party or parties other than the Star-Telegram, nor be the basis for any claim against the Star-Telegram, its officers, agents or employees.
