Code of Conduct For Radio Univers' Staff And Volunteers

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.
