Thanks for the spotlight, Society of Professional Journalists! Some think "media ethics" is an oxymoron. They're wrong. Ethical journalists give people essential information to be free and self-governing and to make choices that better their lives, whether they're picking politicians or products. #SPJEthicsWeek #SPJCodeofEthics #Journalism #SocietyofProfessionalJournalists #EthicsWeek

I'm thrilled to have participated in the insightful webinar on 'Media Ethics: Navigating the Digital Frontier - Ethical Journalism in the Era of Misinformation' organized by the Department of Mass Communication at Virtual University. In today's digital age, it's more important than ever to uphold ethical standards in journalism and combat misinformation. This webinar provided a valuable platform for discussion and learning, and I'm grateful to have been a part of it. I'd like to thank the organizers and speakers for sharing their expertise and experiences. I'm looking forward to applying the knowledge gained from this webinar in my future endeavors. #MediaEthics #Journalism #DigitalFrontier #Misinformation #VirtualUniversity #MassCommunication #Webinar #CertificateOfParticipation

Dan Levine, a veteran investigative reporter for Reuters, earns the trust of sensitive sources by making sure they really understand how the editorial process works and know what they should expect to happen if they agree to participate. "Current and former government workers, corporate employees and victims of violence often take significant legal or physical risks to reveal harm or wrongdoing," Dan writes. "To earn sources’ trust, minimize their exposure and protect their safety, I always try to be as transparent as possible. This goes beyond conversations about on-the-record versus background. It involves a discussion about how the entire editorial process works. The back and forth not only benefits the source; it helps us maintain our own independence and credibility, and serves readers." You can learn more about how Dan approaches his relationships with sensitive sources in his guest column for the Ethics & Journalism Initiative (https://lnkd.in/dCMQ2NVB).

Why do journalism ethics matter and why does #SPJEthicsWeek exist? SPJ believes that ethical journalism is vital to the public and the health of the nation’s democracy. In fact, ethical journalism is more important than ever in today's news climate. https://bit.ly/4d1Ed4U

As a journalist, we are daily confronted by a lot of ethical dilemmas. It’s not always easy to balance the public’s right to know with respecting people’s privacy or to report on sensitive issues without causing harm. These challenges can be tough, especially when the stakes are high and there’s no clear right answer. 📣 Through my recent course on Media Ethics, by the university of Amesterdam, I’ve gained valuable insights into these challenges, such as navigating the use of explicit imagery and balancing transparency with public safety. Proud to have earned my certification and looking forward to applying these principles to make my journalism more ethical and impactful. 😎 #Ethicaljournalism #MediaEthics #Morocco #Journalism 

Ethical journalism prioritizes truth, ethics, and accountability. This World News Day, we’re joining global media to emphasize the importance of truth and fact-based journalism. Read a collection of stories that pursue the truth: https://lnkd.in/gJBkCJZC

Journalism ethics involve principles such as accuracy, fairness, and independence, ensuring that journalists report truthfully and without bias. Corruption in journalism undermines these principles, often manifesting as bribery, favoritism, or conflicts of interest. Ethical journalism seeks to maintain public trust by adhering to high standards of integrity and transparency, while corruption erodes credibility and can lead to misinformation and exploitation. Addressing corruption requires robust ethical guidelines, accountability measures, and a commitment to truth.

This panel discussion promises to be a fascinating discourse about the state of journalism and how it relates to the public trust. Our distinguished panelists will discuss the ethics of journalism, common dilemmas, the credibility of news media, the phenomenon of “fake news”, journalists privilege, “unidentified sources” and political spin. Gain valuable insights as our panelists share their firsthand experiences reporting on government corruption and local ethics cases, offering a nuanced perspective on the intersection of government ethics and ethical journalism. https://lnkd.in/gh2yWJnx

I hadn’t expected this: leaving the corporate world behind to get creative and finding that across so many other areas and disciplines, we also need to collectively re-frame what we are doing. There can be no sustainable and peaceful future without expressly factoring in ethics. In AI of course. In communications, media, academia, not-for-profit too. That’s why I am so thrilled that we are bringing together experts and thought leaders for the VISION AND VALUES incubator event of Integrity Matters 🧡 #makeethicsreal
