Do I have to create an account to browse the site?<\/b><\/p>\n
No. When you\u2019re ready to begin building your code, however, you\u2019ll want to create an account, which will allow you to save, revise and share your code.<\/span><\/p>\n Do I have to accept the journalism fundamentals that the site includes?<\/b><\/p>\n Yes. If you aren\u2019t willing to accept these fundamentals, we argue that the work you\u2019re doing isn\u2019t journalism.<\/span><\/p>\n Can I edit the ethical choice statements?<\/b><\/p>\n Yes. If you\u2019d like to make changes to a statement or write your own, type your preferred wording in the text box at the bottom.<\/span><\/p>\n How do I save the choices I make?<\/b><\/p>\n Select \u201csave and continue\u201d after you\u2019ve made your choices for each module. They will be saved to the \u201cYour Code\u201d page, accessible on the left navigation bar.<\/span><\/p>\n What if I’m having trouble saving?<\/b> What if I want to change something in my code?<\/b><\/p>\n You can make changes either by going back into the individual module and checking\/unchecking a statement or by clicking on the \u201cYour Code\u201d link, hovering over the statement you want to change and then clicking on the edit icon. Be sure to click \u201csave and continue\u201d after making a change.<\/span><\/p>\n Do I have to make ethical choices in every category and every module within the categories?<\/b><\/p>\n No. Once you\u2019ve accepted the journalism fundamentals and made a choice about the nature of your journalism, you can decide which additional categories and modules are relevant to you.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/b>What if I don\u2019t see a module for an issue I want to include in my code?<\/b><\/p>\n First try using the search function; it\u2019s possible that the module has a different name. If you can\u2019t find the issue, you can create your own ethical statements by emailing ONA Digital Director Trevor Knoblich, trevor [at] journalists.org. We very much welcome your input, as we\u2019ll use feedback, suggestions and ideas for modules to continue to develop and improve this project and site.<\/span><\/p>\n Can multiple users work on one code?<\/b><\/p>\n
\nA few users have reported issues with the save and continue button. Generally, changing browsers seems to address this issue.<\/p>\n
