Fairness and Impartiality: Reporting should be fair and balanced, presenting diverse perspectives and avoiding bias. Journalists should treat all subjects with respect and consider the impact of their reporting on individuals and communities.
Accountability: Journalists must take responsibility for their work and promptly correct any errors. They should be transparent about their methods and sources, and be open to public scrutiny.
