Bordeaux code
The right of everyone to access information and ideas, reiterated in Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, underpins the journalist's mission. The journalist's responsibility towards the public takes precedence over any other responsibility, especially towards his employer and the government. Journalism is a profession, which requires time, means and resources to carry out its profession - all essential to its independence. This International Declaration specifies the code of conduct for journalists in researching, editing, broadcasting, disseminating and commenting on news and information, and in describing events, in any media.
1. Respect for the facts and for the public's right to the truth is the journalist's first duty.
2. By virtue of this duty, the journalist defends at all times the principles of freedom in the fair gathering and publication of news, and of the right to fair comment and criticism. The journalist shall ensure a clear distinction between factual information and commentary and criticism.
3. 3. The journalist shall report only on the basis of facts whose origin the journalist knows. The journalist shall not withhold essential information or falsify documents. The journalist will take care to faithfully reflect statements and other material published by non-public persons in social media.
4. The journalist will always mention his/her/its status as a journalist and will refrain from using hidden recordings of images and sounds, except when it is impossible for the journalist to gather information of overwhelming public interest. The journalist will demand free access to all sources of information and the right to freely investigate all facts of public interest.
5. The notion of urgency or immediacy in disseminating information does not take precedence over verification of facts, sources and/or offering a response.
6. The journalist shall make every effort to rectify errors or published information found to be incorrect in a timely, explicit, complete and transparent manner.
7. The journalist will observe professional secrecy regarding the source of information obtained in confidence.
8. The journalist respects personal privacy. The journalist respects the dignity of the persons named and/or represented and informs the interviewee whether the interview and other material is intended for publication. The journalist takes particular account of inexperienced and vulnerable interviewees.
9. Journalists shall ensure that the dissemination of information or opinions does not contribute to hatred or prejudice and shall make every effort not to encourage the spread of discrimination on grounds such as geographical, social or ethnic origin, race, gender, sexual orientation, language, religion, disability, political and other opinions.
10. Journalist will consider as serious professional misconduct
plagiarism
distortion of facts
defamation, libel, slander, unfounded accusations
11. The journalist shall refrain from acting as an auxiliary to the police or other security services. The journalist is only obliged to provide information that has already been published in a media outlet.
12. The journalist will show solidarity with his/her./their colleagues, without waiving his/her/their freedom of research, duty to inform and right to criticise, comment, satire and editorial choice.
13. The journalist will not use the freedom of the press to serve any other interest and will refrain from receiving any unfair advantage or personal gain because of the dissemination or non-dissemination of information. The journalist will avoid - or end - any situation that could lead to a conflict of interest in the exercise of his/her/their profession. The journalistj will avoid any confusion between his/her activity and that of advertising or propaganda. The journalist will refrain from any insider trading and market manipulation.
14. The journalist will not engage in any activity or commitment that may compromise his/her independence. However, the journalist will respect the methods of collecting/disseminating information that The journalistj has freely accepted, such as “off the record”, anonymity or embargo, provided that these commitments are clear and indisputable.
15. Journalists worthy of the name consider it their duty to faithfully observe the above principles. They must not be forced to perform a professional act or express an opinion contrary to their professional beliefs or conscience.
16. Within the general law of each country, journalists in matters of professional honour recognise the jurisdiction of independent self-regulatory bodies open to the public to the exclusion of any interference by governments or others.
