Abstract:
This code of conduct is made on mutual respect and responsibility and
applies equally to the staff, volunteers, free lancers, independent producers
and guests. This has been prepared to guide the conduct of all activities at
the station premises (including the office and news room) and adjoining
facilities. The Code draws from local and international sources including
the Code of Ethics of the Society for Professional Journalists, the Ghana
Journalists Association, relevant and applicable Code of Conduct, the
Statutes of the University and any other relevant rules, regulations and/or
Policies implemented by the University of Ghana. The purpose of the
Code is to protect the credibility of RADIO UNIVERS news
programming by ensuring among others, high standards of honesty,
integrity, impartiality and conduct of staff and relationship with our
publics. We accomplish this by (a) articulating the ethical standards we
observe in pursuing and presenting stories, (b) setting rules and policies
that prevent conflicts of interest, (c) establishing guidelines for actions
that may reflect on RADIO UNIVERS.
