BWI CODE OF ETHICS Indicating widespread agreement for principles contained within it, the Boating Writers International membership voted 94% for and 5% against the organization's Code of Ethics in June, 2002. The ethics document has four primary divisions. First, "editorial independence," is identified as the best way to achieve honesty and excellence in the writers' work. To that end, the guidelines say a publication’s editor should have control over all editorial content, photos and front cover artwork. They condemn the practice of trading advertising for editorial content. Second, the guidelines encourage "accuracy, fairness and truth" by editors and writers. Third, they discourage "conflicts of interest," real or perceived, whenever possible. Fourth, they recognize "supporting and associate members" to be an integral part of BWI, and therefore expect them to follow these guidelines. BWI Ethics Principles Boating Writers International regards editorial integrity as a cornerstone of its mission. The following ethical principles should guide editors, writers and web content managers in making choices that will not only enhance editorial excellence for our various media, but heighten credibility in the eyes of our readers. 1. EDITORIAL INDEPENDENCE. We believe editorial independence is the best way to achieve honesty and excellence in our work. To that end: 1.1 A publication’s editor should have control over all editorial content, photos and front cover artwork. 1.2 BWI expressly condemns the practice of trading advertising for editorial content. We believe that this practice not only undermines a publication's credibility among its readers, but ultimately diminishes its value in the marketplace. 1.3 Insofar as possible, editorial and advertising functions should be kept separate to avoid the risk of editorial decisions being influenced by advertising revenues. 1.4 Editors should not submit any editorial piece to advertisers for prior approval or screening. This does not preclude checking facts or verifying quotes for accuracy. 1.5 Advertorial and sponsored pages must be clearly labeled as such on each page of the advertising section. Display advertising must be clearly differentiated from editorial to avoid confusion. 2. ACCURACY, FAIRNESS AND TRUTH. Editors and writers should always strive to be fair and truthful. To that end: 2.1 Writers and editors must never deliberately mislead readers, either by making dishonest or distorted statements or by omitting pertinent facts about a product or subject they are covering. However, editors may inform manufacturers of specific criticisms of boats or products prior to publication, and give that manufacturer a fair chance to respond before the article appears in print. 2.2 Any factual errors should be acknowledged immediately, and corrections should be featured as prominently as possible. 2.3 Information provided by any manufacturer must be identified as such. This includes performance test data that has not been independently verified by the editor or writer. 2.4 Plagiarism is considered theft of another's work. Writers and editors should always attribute materials taken from other sources. 3. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. Writers and editors should avoid conflicts of interest, real or perceived, whenever possible. To that end: 3.1 Any potential conflict of interest, which might affect editorial content, must be disclosed prior to publication. Writers must notify editors, and the editor, in turn, must disclose this information to the readers. 3.2 Editors and writers should not accept substantial gifts, services or merchandise from organizations or individuals that may be affected by editorial content. 3.3 Editors and writers should not solicit products for personal use. 3.4 The acceptance of a product for editorial review does not carry an obligation to give that product favorable coverage. Any products provided by suppliers should be returned after the test is complete. 3.5 Any product loaned "on consignment" or for a "long-term test," should be identified as such in the article. 3.6 Publications should pay the travel expenses of their writers and editors. If this is not possible, such support should be disclosed. It should also be made clear to manufacturers that subsidized or free travel does not equal favorable coverage. 4. SUPPORTING AND ASSOCIATE MEMBERS. We consider supporting and associate members to be an integral part of BWI, and therefore expect them to follow these guidelines. To that end: 4.1 Supporting and associate members should never provide any misleading information or untruthful facts about their clients and products. 4.2 Supporting and associate members should not request, or expect, editorial coverage in exchange for advertising dollars, product loans or subsidized travel. 4.3 Supporting and associate members should do their utmost to ensure that commitments for boat and product tests are met. WE FOLLOW BWI’S ETHICS GUIDELINES BWI ANNUAL WRITING CONTEST BWI maintains an Annual Writing Contest to recognize excellence in creating compelling stories about the boating lifestyle through entertaining, educational and inspiring journalism. Awards, presented at the Miami International Boat Show in February, are made in categories (noted below) for stories published in calendar year 2011, with each category judged by four active journalists in the first weeks of 2012. First place carries an award of $500, second place $300 and third place $200; all recipients receive presentation plaques. Certificate of Merit Awards are made to writers who score within 95 percent of third-place tallies in each category. Winners must be current members of BWI and members during the year the article was published. When funded, the 1st to 3rd place winning stories of the previous year are entered into a "Phase II" competition which culminates in a single selection honored with The Grand Prize Writer's Award and a cash payment (see details following Annual Contest results). Additional details are posted at www.bwi.org/news/bwi/best-boating-stories-of-year/ with a clickthrough to the award articles there. Here are the results of the 2011 BWI Annual Writing Contest: 1.

The Grand Prize Writer's Award Jim Flannery, senior writer for Soundings publications, received the top honor Boating Writers International presents to a journalist -- The BWI Grand Prize Writer's Award. Co-sponsors of the 2010 Grand award were Martek of Palm Beach and Overing Yacht Designs. Flannery’s in-depth treatise, "The fading glory of working waterfronts," profiled the human impact that the demise of water-based commercial enterprise brings and identified the issues that lead to it. In Maine, and coastal states also tied to a challenged fishery, the competition between private land use and development and civic interest in keeping businesses and resulting jobs is a constant faceoff. Flannery also reported on individuals, groups and government programs seeking healthy mixed-use solutions which offer hope for restoring waterfront vitality. Judges said of Flannery’s entry, “We found this exploration of a dying Maine Coast to be commendable. We applaud its considerable research, its fresh angle, and, most of all, its strong writing.” (A link to the feature is www.soundingsonline.com/features/in-depth/259502-thefading-glory-of-working-waterfronts.) Judges for the Grand award are faculty at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications of Syracuse University. Cited by the judges as honorable mentions were: - Panbo, the Marine Electronics blog by Ben Ellison;” and - "Escape from the Island of Doom" by Marlin Bree.
