"Ethical reporters and editors must strive to tell the truth with courage, fairness and balance, open to the possibility that their reporting may lead to a story that varies with their initial concept. They do not give pre-eminence to the government or official version of events, but give voice to the voiceless, seeking out unofficial sources and people on the ground. They offer all parties to a conflict or dispute the chance to have their say and present their views fairly and objectively, and they do not skew comments to advance a particular point of view or agenda. They should not withhold relevant information in order to bolster or undermine a given point of view. They should not doctor photos or documents to distort their meaning. Ethical reporters and editors make every effort to give those named in stories the opportunity to respond to allegations of wrongdoing, and they report the results of those efforts within their news stories. They credit other publications and writers as appropriate, and never plagiarize. Where information is obtained through social media, they acknowledge its use and strive to insure the authenticity of sources and information obtained." (Page 4)
