​Be ethical, journalists!

National Public Radio (NPR) Ombudsman and public editor based in the United States, Elizabeth Jensen, said the role of journalism today is to give the public facts so they can decide for themselves on issues.

Speaking at the Jefferson Fellowships 50th Anniversary event, attended by Asia Pacific journalists on Monday, May 8, in Hawaii, Jensen explained that it all goes back to basics.

“We have to remind the public of what journalism is designed to do and sometimes we have to remind ourselves as journalists,” Jensen said.
