Guiding Principles for Journalists email this discussion to a friend?

Here are some of the guiding principles for journalists that I have jot down when I attended our campus journalism workshop. I hope this could be of great help to others.

1. Seek truth and report is as fairly as possible. Avoid having sides. Balanced news is a must.

2. Minimize harm

3. Act independently

4. Be accountable

5. A fact is a true phenomenon

Kindly share your guides too on being a responsible journalist.:)

thanks for the information, however i wonder how many of the journalists are really caring these principles? i think many of them are doing their best to sell the news and step over all of these principles in todays journalism... take care..

I do admire responsible journalist for seeking and uncovering the truth. They are the fourth estate, that's why they must do their job rightfully so that people will rely on them.

I'm not a journalist by profession. But by heart:)
