The Ethical Journalism Initiative

Journalists and their unions and associations say journalists need to invest in quality information and quality journalism. Their stories, on whatever platform they are distributed, will have impact and build public trust when they have style and relevance and when they nourish and enhance the values that make journalism an integral part of democracy. This is why the Ethical Journalism Initiative has been launched by the International Federation of Journalists and its member organisations across the globe. 

 

The Ethical Journalism Initiative website provides information about the Initiative – it contains an e-book, To Tell you the Truth, which is an introduction to the background and some of the key themes to consider in building an ethical environment for journalism. There is also information about current project activities and programmes, some key texts and links to a network of campaigns and groups striving to make journalism work for democracy.
