There are 5 key values to journalism
Accuracy: it is how close to the truth it is, no deceptive handling of the facts
The work that you do is independent, you are the sole person responsible for your own words to use transparency on where you get your sources from
Impartiality: to remain impartial and take both sides of the argument or story, what other opinions do I need to make the story whole?
Humanity: you have to be aware of what you show, you need to decide what to show in a story, must be careful on what you say
Accountability: you have to say sorry and take accountability for your mistakes
Journalism: should be humanitarian so you have to act with all the ethics possible
