Preamble

Members of the Society of Professional Journalists believe that public enlightenment is the forerunner of justice and the foundation of democracy. Ethical journalism strives to ensure the free exchange of information that is accurate, fair and thorough. An ethical journalist acts with integrity.

The Society declares these four principles as the foundation of ethical journalism and encourages their use in its practice by all people in all media.

A) Seek Truth and Report It

Ethical journalism should be accurate and fair. Journalists should be honest and courageous in gathering, reporting and interpreting information.

Journalists should:

1) Take responsibility for the accuracy of their work. Verify information before releasing it. Use original sources whenever possible.

2) Remember that neither speed nor format excuses inaccuracy.

3) Provide context. Take special care not to misrepresent or oversimplify in promoting, previewing or summarizing a story.

4) Gather, update and correct information throughout the life of a news story.

5) Be cautious when making promises, but keep the promises they make.

6) Identify sources clearly. The public is entitled to as much information as possible to judge the reliability and motivations of sources.

7) Consider sources’ motives before promising anonymity. Reserve anonymity for sources who may face danger, retribution or other harm, and have information that cannot be obtained elsewhere. Explain why anonymity was granted.

8) Diligently seek subjects of news coverage to allow them to respond to criticism or allegations of wrongdoing.

9) Avoid undercover or other surreptitious methods of gathering information unless traditional, open methods will not yield information vital to the public.

10) Be vigilant and courageous about holding those with power accountable. Give voice to the voiceless.

11) Support the open and civil exchange of views, even views they find repugnant.

12) Recognize a special obligation to serve as watchdogs over public affairs and government. Seek to ensure that the public’s business is conducted in the open, and that public records are open to all.

13) Provide access to source material when it is relevant and appropriate.

14) Boldly tell the story of the diversity and magnitude of the human experience. Seek sources whose voices we seldom hear.

15) Avoid stereotyping. Journalists should examine the ways their values and experiences may shape their reporting.

16) Label advocacy and commentary.

17) Never deliberately distort facts or context, including visual information. Clearly label illustrations and re-enactments.

18) Never plagiarize. Always attribute.

B) Minimize Harm

Ethical journalism treats sources, subjects, colleagues and members of the public as human beings deserving of respect.

Journalists should:

1) Balance the public’s need for information against potential harm or discomfort. Pursuit of the news is not a license for arrogance or undue intrusiveness.

2) Show compassion for those who may be affected by news coverage. Use heightened sensitivity when dealing with juveniles, victims of sex crimes, and sources or subjects who are inexperienced or unable to give consent. Consider cultural differences in approach and treatment.

3) Recognize that legal access to information differs from an ethical justification to publish or broadcast.

4) Realize that private people have a greater right to control information about themselves than public figures and others who seek power, influence or attention. Weigh the consequences of publishing or broadcasting personal information.

5) Avoid pandering to lurid curiosity, even if others do.

6) Balance a suspect’s right to a fair trial with the public’s right to know. Consider the implications of identifying criminal suspects before they face legal charges.

7) Consider the long-term implications of the extended reach and permanence of publication. Provide updated and more complete information as appropriate.

C) Act Independently

The highest and primary obligation of ethical journalism is to serve the public.

Journalists should:

1) Avoid conflicts of interest, real or perceived. Disclose unavoidable conflicts.

2) Refuse gifts, favors, fees, free travel and special treatment, and avoid political and other outside activities that may compromise integrity or impartiality, or may damage credibility.

3) Be wary of sources offering information for favors or money; do not pay for access to news. Identify content provided by outside sources, whether paid or not.

4) Deny favored treatment to advertisers, donors or any other special interests, and resist internal and external pressure to influence coverage.

5) Distinguish news from advertising and shun hybrids that blur the lines between the two. Prominently label sponsored content.

D) Be Accountable and Transparent

Ethical journalism means taking responsibility for one’s work and explaining one’s decisions to the public.

Journalists should:

1) Explain ethical choices and processes to audiences. Encourage a civil dialogue with the public about journalistic practices, coverage and news content.

2) Respond quickly to questions about accuracy, clarity and fairness.

3) Acknowledge mistakes and correct them promptly and prominently. Explain corrections and clarifications carefully and clearly.
4) Expose unethical conduct in journalism, including within their organizations.

5) Abide by the same high standards they expect of others.

The only way to ensure a ethical journalism is to enforce it by a law.
Similar to that of a medical council.

Issue grading system like a credit worthiness to media companys

Issue harsh punishment to journalist including fines, caning and jail terms.

In this RICE case, they merely reported what they have gathered from the ter nao investors.
The Council just need to verify whether were the interviews really conducted and the validity of the interviews by re asking the interviewees.
It is upto readers whether to believe they were scammed or not.
I chose to believe it becos I can tell RN is a scammer, even without this rice report.

If they choose to sue, the party to sue are the ter nao interviewees for defaming them as scammers and not the interviewers, as they were merely reporting what they have gathered.
Wakeup the fucking idea pls

 

[Hightech88]

LHL

No, it all started from LKY who sued JB Jeyaratnam til become bankrupt, then GCT and his Dishonorable Son follow suit and the rest is history.

Repeating a defamatory statement is defamatory it itself. They are entitled to sue the source, the publisher or both.

 

[Hightech88]

If one is discerning enough, you will notice all these big bully suing parties eventually tio Karma.

LKY to LHL tio karma when embroiled in a family squabble scandal with his siblings now whole farking family disintegrated and brother family living in exile.
Most tragic is Lee Wei Ling, tio diagnosed with incurable disease in 2020 and can up lorry anytime: https://www.asiaone.com/singapore/l...rain-disorder-no-cure-wishes-it-was-nightmare

GCT now so old lao Kok kok already then tio karma like a final nail to his coffin when his Son now tio criminals charges combined with a $196M civil suit and soon to become bankrupt.

This is called...

 

[sbfuncle]

Repeating a defamatory statement is defamatory it itself. They are entitled to sue the source, the publisher or both.

So if I say A is siao lang and B told the public that I said A is a siao lang, A can sue B.
This nonsense needs to be abolished,. Or else there will be never ending Suing going on. The gov or the court shouldn't just becos A reported it then they take it as a case. This is utter nonsense.

 

[sbfuncle]

This nonsense needs to be abolished,. Or else there will be never ending Suing going on. The gov or the court shouldn't just becos A reported it then they take it as a case. This is utter nonsense.

The world needs to take one step back to abolish this nonsense then taking a step forward to allow the sue to go on.
Only violence and bloodshed can fix this nonsense court and gov.
Mss took the silly sacrificing way of bloodshed.
She should kill 杀杀杀

 

[NanoSpeed]

It's completely logical to me that the publisher should be taken to task.

If you say A is a siao lang to A, it's not defamatory. But if B repeats the statement to a third party, it's defamatory assuming the words siao lang are defamatory.

 

[sbfuncle]

It's completely logical to me that the publisher should be taken to task.

If you say A is a siao lang to A, it's not defamatory. But if B repeats the statement to a third party, it's defamatory assuming the words siao lang are defamatory.

I would only agree when B told the public that A is a siao lang and at the same time telling the public that I also said A is a siao lang.
If B told the public that I said A is a siao lang and B never said A is a siao lang , it doesn't make sense to me becos B is merely saying what I have said.

 

[JurongEast]

Got police statement now ?

 

[sbfuncle]

It's completely logical to me that the publisher should be taken to task.

If you say A is a siao lang to A, it's not defamatory. But if B repeats the statement to a third party, it's defamatory assuming the words siao lang are defamatory.

The choice of words and statement used by the publisher is important to me to determine if the publisher should be taken to task.
If they were merely reporting what those ter nao investors have said, they should not be the right party to be taken to task. Unless they wrote something that indicated that RN is a scammer.

 

[JurongEast]

Sometimes in life
点到为止，不用把人害死的

 

[JurongEast]

This couple 天天搞三搞四

 

[sbfuncle]

This couple 天天搞三搞四

Their life all about going polis station and court.

I don't think the government will say anything. They live in glass houses.
