This list highlights both technical and ethical standards. It is intended for research purposes in practice areas related to Starling Lab, which works at the intersections of technology (especially Dweb/Web3) with journalism, law and history. Listings are not an endorsement. The following entities and their published standards have demonstrated wide or rapidly growing industry adoption. This is a living document, so labels and descriptions are a work in progress and only a best effort to help you find useful guidelines. It is likely incomplete, so suggestions are always welcome. Compliance tends to be optional, though some have membership or signatory requirements that can bind participants. Industry adoption tends to be a critical force. This list does not include codes of conduct for events/conferences, which often has overlap on ethical principles but it a separate endeavor. There are many other journalists associations that may have codes of ethics which are more focused on story and less on asset authentication considerations for Starling (IRE, ASME, ASBPE, News Leaders Association, etc.).
