Reporting on the published and stated political platforms of a candidate without giving a reporter's opinion of them. (Separating news from opinion; unless this is clearly labeled an op-ed piece).
Reporting on a type of household product without focusing on a particular brand. (Separating news from advertisement).
Seeking comment from all parties involved in a news item, especially when opinion is an element of the story. (Balanced reporting).
Leaving out children's names when reporting about victims. (Limiting harm).
Not accepting gifts, even in the form of flattery, in exchange for writing a particular story that might benefit someone. Also, disclosing when it might appear that this could happen (like reporting a story about a company that is owned by your company). (Avoiding conflict of interest).
Allowing the opportunity for people to respond to an item, before it's published, that puts them in a bad light. (Fairness and compassion).
Avoiding anonymous sources when possible, keeping anonymous sources confidential. (Proper source citing).
Not being misleading when quoting others; quoting within context. (Source accuracy).
Using accurate sources and fact-checking them. (Accurate reporting).
Publishing corrections whenever necessary. (Accurate reporting).
I hope you can work with these into some specific examples. I figured I'd give you half of the project -- something to frame your examples.

Ok, I'm not too sure about this, but doesn't it mean something like not plagarizing and stealing ideas form others without giving credit to them?
Like being honest and if you do use someone's ideas, give them credit for it.
I don't know if that's right but i hope it helps.

Whatever you do, don't ask anybody at the New York Times.
