The Ethical Code of Practice for the Norwegian Press (Bokmål: Vær Varsom-plakaten, Nynorsk: Ver Varsam-plakaten, Northern Sami: Leage Várrugas) is a code regulating journalism ethics and standards in Norway.
In 1956 it was rewritten for the first time,[1] with important contributions from Verdens Gang editor Christian A. R.
[1] It applies for the written press as well as radio, television and Internet media.
[1] Complaints about breaches of the code are handled by Pressens Faglige Utvalg.
[4] The code is supplemented by the 1953 document, the Rights and Duties of the Editor (Redaktørplakaten),[5] as well as a code regarding advertising language (Tekstreklameplakaten).
