To promote ethical journalistic practices by cub reporters and citizen bloggers I'm considering getting 500 bracelets made which say: "What would Peter Parker Do?" embossed on one side, with the slogan "With Great Power Comes Great Responsibilty" embossed on the other side.
The bracelets will be priced £2 each with 10% going to
"Reporters Without Borders"

rockin idea :)
I think it's a great motto for life and all things in general anyway, but in terms of the objective you're proposing, one small comment I would like to make: keeping the ordinary hoipolloi layperson such as moi in mind, it might be useful if you could have some examples of 'ethical journalistic practices'. I can of course imagine what some of they may be through common sense ('1.Do not kill princesses in cars; 2.Do not throw punches...unless it's Prescott; 3.No libel-inducing words (!) ) but it would be good to know what the most relevant ones are, so we as non journos can be more specifically enlightened :D
Not entirely sure whether they are a registered charity, but the 'spanner trust' would be one of them for me
Do you think it needs a little printed pamphlet to go with it?
I dunno exactly what we'd put on there... although I like the thing about libel warnings. I'm sort of thinking that this could be to promote the journalism society, help get members and cultivate good practice within the university's blogging community.
It's a pretty simple message though.. WWPPD?
As for a charitable cause, I'm thinking 'Reporters Sans Frontiers' would be good: www.rsf.org
