Which part of the code of ethics set by the society of professional journalists does the journalist most violate?

The Code of ethics of the Society of Professional Journalists is intended as a resource for ethical decision-making in this profession.

The five core principles of journalism stated by this society are:

1.  Truth and accuracy. Journalists need to get facts right, strive for accuracy and give all relevant facts.

2.Independence. They must be independent voices and declare their political affiliations, financial arrangements or other personal information that might constitute a conflict of interest.

3.Fairness and Impartiality.  Stories should be balanced and add context.  There is no obligation to always present the two side of the stories, but impartial reporting builds trust and confidence.

4.Humanity.  Journalists should do no harm, they must be aware of the impact of their words to the lives of others.

5.Accountability. When they commit mistakes they must correct them quickly, with sincere expressions and not cynical remarks.  

Among all these principles, it is said that the most commonly violated is the first one.

Truth and Accuracy violations lead to the omission of details as to change the perception of the reader and when information cannot be corroborated it should be said so.  This does not happen all the time, journalists cannot always guarantee truth but trying to get the facts right is what makes accountable and trustworthy journalism.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
