- The prime rule for being a good journalist is to uphold trust and accuracy—verifying all information meticulously before publication to maintain credibility and serve the public responsibly.
Accuracy and Truth
Accuracy is fundamental in journalism, as even a minor factual error can damage credibility and erode public trust. Journalists must double-check facts, use reliable sources, and ensure every detail is correct before publishing.
Integrity and Ethics
A journalist’s credibility relies on a steadfast commitment to ethical standards—never distorting facts, avoiding bias, and acting with integrity. This means reporting honestly, fixing errors swiftly, and being transparent about sources and motivations.
Objectivity and Fairness
While total objectivity may be unattainable, fairness is always expected. Journalists should present every side of a story, give voice to various perspectives, and keep opinion separate from factual reporting.
Curiosity and Critical Thinking
Good journalists are inherently curious, asking questions and seeking to uncover stories beneath the surface. They must be skeptical, scrutinizing sources and verifying claims before publication.
Accountability and Responsibility
Journalists serve the public, and must be ready to take responsibility for their work, promptly correcting mistakes, and always considering the potential impact of their reporting on individuals and society.
In summary, the overarching rule is to pursue the truth with accuracy, act with integrity, and serve the public interest—the cornerstone values that define outstanding journalism.
