Introduction

Digital communication allows organizations to connect with audiences around the world in seconds. That same speed also increases the potential for misinformation, copyright violations, privacy concerns, and unethical messaging. As the founder of Draconic Realms Creations (DRC), I believe every employee has a responsibility to communicate honestly, ethically, and legally while representing the company. This code of ethics establishes the standards all employees should follow when creating digital content, communicating with customers, developing marketing materials, managing social media, producing music, publishing educational resources, or interacting with online communities.

The guidelines below were developed after reviewing professional ethical standards from the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ), the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA), and principles discussed throughout this course regarding media law, free speech, truthfulness, accountability, and digital responsibility.
