Project for Excellence in Journalism (PEJ)

Reading Aaron Barlow's book (reviewed by Carol White's for ePluribus Media and available from Amazon), I came across the nine points from the Project for Excellence in Journalism. They are listed in our Toolbox on the right, but it seemed fitting to put up a commentary solely dedicated to them.

  • Journalism's first obligation is to the truth.
  • Its first loyalty is to citizens.
  • Its essence is a discipline of verification.
  • Its practitioners must maintain an independence from those they cover.
  • It must serve as an independent monitor of power.
  • It must provide a forum for public criticism and compromise.
  • It must strive to make the significant interesting and relevant.
  • It must keep the news comprehensive and proportional.
  • Its practitioners must be allowed to exercise their personal conscience.
