Legal communication relates to how employees transfer information following ethical principles relating to moral integrity, focusing on goals, means, and outcomes. All professionals have a specific code of ethics that guides them to act in accordance with the law. Similarly, journalists have a code of ethics that helps guide their work based on moral principles, such as honesty, helping others, not creating harm, maintaining the truth, and acting fairly (Miller, 2021). Journalists are entitled to communicate legally and ethically to ensure individual and collective good is explored.
