Journalism Ethics — Magazine & Journal Research

Explore your Journalism Ethics Topic Through Journal and Magazine Databases

Database searching tips:

  • try multiple searches, experimenting with different combinations of keywords

  • use the wildcard symbol * to force the search to find different forms of the same word. e.g.ethic* will search for "ethics"  "ethical,"  etc.

  • combine synonyms for the same concept in the search with OR on the same line

  • combine the different concepts you want to be searched at the same time with AND on different lines.

  • pay attention to indexing terms (Descriptors) in the database and incorporate these into your search

  • getting too many results? Try connecting keywords with the Near Operator (N) - for example, connecting words with N5 finds the words if they are within five words of one another, regardless of the order in which they appear:  tax N5 reform finds results that would match tax reform as well as reform of income tax

  • Change default setting to TX All Text to search for keywords anywhere in articles to get more results

  • Browse subject heading: Journalistic Ethics for articles, or combine this term with others in a keyword search. E.g. journalistic ethics and war

  • follow the UConn Links button to locate articles that aren't full text in Academic Search Premier
