In some cases. They do have some leeway with some of the ethics, like not lying to people about who you work for etc. This is because, like for an undercover journalist, it could be dangerous for the health or family of the journalist. So, if a journalist were to go undercover in a drug cartel, it may be wise to lie about your job in order to protect yourself and family.
However, in less serious cases such as overturning a budget scandal which is much less in the way of risk taking, I would adhere to the ethics. Now bending the rules or stretching ethics are what being an investigative journalist is all about.
No, they are not legal satutes; but a journalist who violates them can find himself blackballed by the journalism community pretty quickly.

Ethics
Not at all.* Ethics is a system of values - i.e., how you should behave. * Religion is a system of beliefs. Religions usually include some sort of ethics, but non-religious people have ethics as well.
After a series of doping scandals involving horses, an ethics panel has asked the International Equestrian Federation to create an independent investigative unit to help clean up the sport.
Universal ethics should be practised and taught in schools. To this extent, Christian ethics will be practised and taught in schools, as will Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist and even secular ethics - they all mean the same thing. But Christian teachings belong in Christian institutions and Scripture classes.
