Therefore, the facts subject to reporting must be limited to those whose value can be verified in terms of their source and content. Journalists should be sincere towards the public by being as thorough and correct in reporting and commenting as possible. The first obligation of a journalist is to respect the truth.
Every journalist has a duty to tell, adhere to, adore and faithfully defend, the truth.

The duty of the journalist is to further those ends by seeking truth and providing a fair and comprehensive account of events and issues. Conscientious journalists from all media and specialities strive to serve the public with thoroughness and honesty.
