» Things to consider - PCC
The PCC regulates certain rules that journalists must oblige by to protect the welfare of others. This concerns subjects like accuracy, harassment, children and discrimination. To make sure that I do not break any of these codes set by the PCC, I have made 5 rules which I will follow...
1 – I will seek the consent of parent/guardian if photographing children to protect against the intrusion into their lives
2 – I will seek the permission of the person holding copyrights over any information I gather to use so not to go against copyright laws3 – I will record all interviews to ensure accuracy4 – I will take all of the pictures I use myself and not attempt to obtain pictures of the internet or other sources, to not risk going against copy right laws5 – I will show all material I collect and intent to publish concerning individuals to them so I can check that they are happy with it before it is published
