Ethics AdviceLine for Journalists
As The Guardian newspaper celebrates its 200th anniversary and looks forward to its next century, covid is seen as a rehearsal for climate breakdown.
Editor-in-chief Katharine Viner offers five ideals to guide the Guardian to help create a better kind of world than the one we had before.
One: We will develop ideas that help improve the world, not just critique it.
Two: We will collaborate with readers, and others, to have greater impact.
Three: We will diversify, to have richer reporting from a representative newsroom.
Four: We will be meaningful in all of our work.
Five: We will report fairly on people as well as power, and find things out.
