rent belief systems and SOGIE (Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Expression) issues; 2. avoid mentioning faith affiliation or SOGIE status when such information is not directly relevant to a story; 3. carefully consider word choice and framing around sexual and gender minorities and followers of different faiths. Use sources’ preferred terminology when appropriate; 4. allow marginalized people to speak for themselves and in their own voices; 5. strive to include moderate voices in our reporting, not just the extremes; 6. seek out knowledgeable sources capable of providing accurate information and analysis; 7. always consider the motivations and potential biases of our sources; 8. be especially diligent in verifying all details when covering sensitive news and ask for clarification when needed; 9. avoid including dangerous hate speech in our stories; 10. avoid sensationalizing or capitalizing on marginalized identities; 11. avoid using imagery that depicts religious or sexual and gender minorities in stereotypical or dehumanizing ways; 12. take all measures possible to provide anonymity when necessary to protect the safety and security of individuals and communities; 13. practice the qualities of responsible, ethical journalism by minimizing harm and avoiding hearsay and rumor; 14. encourage diversity in our newsrooms; 15. ensure that our personal beliefs and biases do not influence the objectivity of our reporting or limit the topics we cover. If our beliefs somehow make covering a story impossible, we should pass it onto a colleague." (Reporting resolution, page 6)

We wanted to make this a practical guide for our vocational students who’re already packing a lot into each day on the course.

We asked them to write a short opinion piece on a topic which affects them, personally or through professional interest. These form the starting points for a discussion in class, to be followed up by working through some of the suggestions in the ‘everybody in’ section; developing contacts and doing newsdays from a different angle."
