8. 3 of the 10 Principals 1. journalist’s first obligation is to tell the truth 2.Its first loyalty is to citizens 3. Its essence is a discipline of verification

9. Sources, Trust, and Reputations You must always keep your source!!!!! When you give up a source, you lose their trust in you and in your paper. Thus, tarnishing the reputation your paper has worked so hard to build

12. Three Roles Of Journalism Professional, citizen, and human being Must be able to juggle all three Sometimes they come in to conflict with each other

13. Examples of Conflict A journalist comes across a rape article Do you publish the rap victims name? A journalist is on a scene of a fire and he notices a man whose clothes are on fire. Should he observe and take notes on efforts to rescue the person?

14. Bottom line Fraud is something that all journalist should avoid. Make sure your articles are 100% yours. Journalism is not about the money. Having good ethics is the core of good journalism As a journalist, you must always keep the trust of a source. Not everything is biased The three roles of journalism helps keep the perfect balance of humanity when it comes to journalists.
