TIPS
• Give voice to all groups in society
NOT just the powerful
• The public’s need to know is an important value
• Consider the relevance of the material to the
Real NEEDS of the audience
• If the reporter cannot disclose in the story the
tactics used to gather information for the story,
such tactics should NOT be used.
• Be wary of treating people as a MEANS
• Be committed to a value system, but don’t let ideology
(your political party, religion etc) influence your
reporting and writing
• Be wary of promising a source help in return
for material
• In balancing moral alternatives, it’s most important
to not risk anyone’s life
• Balance the public with the private good
• A factor is whether an event is or will soon be public
knowledge
• ACCURACY is absolutely key!
