Journalism and Ethical Engagement with Visual Media: Illuminating Stories through Engaging Imagery
Journalists are responsible for ensuring that the visuals used in their storytelling accurately represent the facts and events being re-ported. The visuals should align with the truth of the story and not distort or manipulate the information being conveyed. This responsi-bility includes presenting visuals in their original context and avoiding misleading edits or alterations that could misrepresent the truth or sensationalize a story for dramatic effect.
