Citizen Journalism Ethics Guide When writing a journalistic article it is important to adhere to the principles and ethics of the ?eld When an individual reads a news article it is assumed that what he or she is reading is an unbiased delivery of facts and statements It is the duty of the journalist to convey the details of their story in a way that is both compelling yet factually honest Here are some tips and guidelines to follow when writing a journalistic piece Avoid Exaggeration and Choose Your Words Wisely While using descriptive language in a news story can on the surface appear to liven up an article it can also falsely lead the reader to certain conclusions In addition the right word choice is imperative when writing an article Take for instance these two variations of the sentence ??The President responded to the protesters with an o ?cial statement ?
