Answer:A code of ethics is simply what is legally and/or morally correct in a society or position.

Explanation: In a society if the press did not have to abide by a code of ethics, the quality and integrity of the press as a system would deteriorate. There would likely be back lash and uproar because the press could, in theory, report, publish, and distribute whatever they so choose, and no one could stop them due to freedom of the press granted by the first amendment to the United States Constitution.
