Journalism Accountability

Journalism accountability refers to the responsibility journalists and media organizations have to report truthfully, accurately, and fairly. It involves verifying information, correcting errors, and being transparent about sources and methods. When journalists uphold accountability, they earn public trust and ensure the media serves the public interest. Conversely, accountability also means holding journalists to ethical standards and addressing misconduct or bias. Overall, it is about maintaining integrity in reporting to provide reliable information and support an informed society.
