Freebie conundrums? Threats of access denied?

THE NUJ Ethics Council is running a survey on ethical pressures facing members, including "freebies or gifts from companies and individuals trying to persuade journalists to give them a good review or write a favourable article," or threats of denial of access should the favourable review or article not materialise. It only takes a few minutes to complete the survey - in confidence - which is here.

There's an NUJ ethics hotline for members challenged by such quandaries.
