What is ethical reporting?
In a time when information spreads faster than ever, ethical reporting is key to preserving truth, justice, and human rights. But what does that actually mean?
✅ Accuracy – Fact-checking before publication to prevent the spread of misinformation.
✅ Impartiality – Reporting without favoring any side or interest.
✅ Privacy Respect – Protecting the identity and dignity of individuals being reported on.
✅ Accountability – Recognizing mistakes and correcting them when they occur.
✅ Public Interest – Informing citizens in a way that contributes to a democratic society.
