Reporters must adhere to the character, style, and policies of their newspaper or media agency. Conservative papers, for instance, may prioritize routine coverage over investigative reporting, in contrast to news organizations that value investigative skills. Regardless of the organizational philosophy, reporters bear the responsibility of maintaining accuracy and objectivity in their stories. Your effectiveness as a newsperson is significantly influenced by the reliability you establish with your sources. Some sources may require substantial effort to build trust, and you must assure them of their safety. If they wish, you must also commit to keeping their identity confidential. One must also maintain credibility with the reader. This involves a duty to refrain from accepting gifts or favors and avoiding any activities that could compromise your integrity. Despite the current trend where publicity seekers, including those in private businesses, organize press conferences with attractive gifts and incentives, journalists must remain steadfast in their commitment to independence and objectivity.
