Ethical Code of Practice for the Norwegian Press
The Ethical Code of Practice for the Norwegian Press (

in Norway.
It was first written in 1936. In 1956 it was rewritten for the first time,[1] with important contributions from Verdens Gang editor Christian A. R. Christensen.[2][3] Later revisions came in 1966, 1975, 1987, 1989, 1990, 1994, 2001, 2005, 2007, 2013 and 2015.[1]

The code is supplemented by the 1953 document, the Rights and Duties of the Editor (Redaktørplakaten),[5] as well as a code regarding advertising language (Tekstreklameplakaten).
