« THE BIG STORY WITH JOHN GIBSON (on Aljazeera's ethics code) | Main | Al Jazeera Adopts a New Code Of Accuracy and Good Taste - (Reuters) »

Text of Aljazeera's code of ethics
(Thanks to Hani Sabra at CPJ for providing this)
Vision and Mission
Aljazeera is an Arab media service with a global orientation. With its motto "the opinion and the other opinion" it acts as a forum for plurality seeking the truth while observing the principles of professionalism within an institutional framework.
While endeavoring to promote public awareness of issues of local and global concern, Aljazeera aspires to be a bridge between peoples and cultures to support the right of the individual to acquire information and strengthen the values of tolerance, democracy and the respect of liberties and human rights.
Aljazeera Code of Ethics
Being a globally oriented media service, Aljazeera shall resolutely adopt the following code of ethics in pursuing the vision and mission it has set for itself:
-Adhere to the journalistic values of honesty, courage, fairness, balance, independence, credibility and diversity giving no priority to commercial or political considerations over professionalism.
-Endeavor to get to the truth and declare it in our dispatches, programmes and news bulletins unequivocally in a manner which leaves no doubt about its validity and accuracy.
-Treat our audiences with due respect and address every issue or story with due attention to present a clear, factual and accurate picture while giving full consideration to the feelings of victims of crime, war, persecution and disaster, their relatives, our viewers, and to individual privacies and public decorum.
-Welcome a fair and honest media competition without allowing it to adversely affect our standards of performance and thereby "having a scoop" would not become an end in itself.
-Recognize diversity in human societies with all their races, cultures, beliefs, values, and intrinsic individualities so as to present an unbiased and faithful reflection of their societies.
-Acknowledge a mistake when it occurs, promptly correct it and ensure it does not recur.
-Observe transparence in dealing with the news and its sources while adhering to internationally established practices concerning the rights of these sources.
-Distinguish between news material, opinion, and analysis to avoid the snares of speculation and propaganda.
-Stand by colleagues in the profession and give them support when required, particularly in the light of the acts of aggression and harassment to which journalists are subjected at times. Cooperate with Arab and international journalistic unions and associations to defend freedom of the press.
