The survey results do not reveal why the students felt that professional journalists need a code of ethics even more than netizens do. One possible reason is that the respondents trust mainstream media less than blogs. But although such sentiments are regularly expressed online, previous surveys suggest that it is not a dominant view. A major national post-election survey in 2011 found that, even among young Singaporeans who used blogs and Facebook, traditional media were considered more trustworthy as a source of election news than alternative online media.

A more likely reason for the NTU students’ response is that they consider traditional news media to have a bigger reach and influence, making them more capable of causing harm and therefore more in need of professional ethics than relatively harmless bloggers and Facebook posters.

10 in 10 say one should have 10 big dicks and fuck like an immortal. But it is not a must.
 
Any idiot who reads TRE, TRS or TOC will know why we need a code of ethics
 
They don't have even integrity to begin with, how to have code of ethics ?

U are correct. Until the moronic useless opposition supporting TOC, TRE and TRS writers prove to the world that they have any integrity by not quoting out of context and using false data. We will always need censorship to ensure we get the truth
