Audio Ethics
Sound effects? Mostly no.Special effects, including sound effects, should
be used with particular care in the presentationof journalistic material. On the rare occasionswhen they are used, rigorous judgment must be
applied to ensure that they do not distort realityor have the effect of producing editorial
comment.
