“All beings
are born free and equal in dignity and rights”
Universal
Declaration of Human Rights, Article 1
‘Journalism
ethics demand that practitioners are conscious of the overriding need to be
free from the shackles of biases, relying only on utmost integrity in the
search for and reporting of the truth; fairly, honestly and accurately as
possible. We recognise this as only possible when reporters develop positive
attitudes towards inclusivity and sensitivity to minority rights issues,
consistent with the media’s role of serving the public with integrity while
being guided by accepted principles and standards of the profession to bring
about a conducive and progressive atmosphere that supports accurate story
telling that frames and constructs minority narratives in ways that ensures
that all individuals and communities have the dignity they deserve irrespective
of their social status, gender or sexual orientation.’
