Ethics are principles that are instilled in us. It is what we believe, what we seek, and what we know is just. As an up and coming journalist and digital media professional, I know the importance of needing to uphold my ethics for communication and digital content. My ethics help define me, and I will continue to maintain them, no matter where my endeavors may lead.
This I promise:
I promise to seek out the truth. Truth in communication is vital to provide audiences a safe and informative environment.
I promise to produce quality digital content. Providing the best quality content will allow me to reach my unknown potentials and also be fair in the work produced.
I promise to be mindful of others. As a firm believer that everyone is always going through something, I will always be empathetic to those around me.
I promise to be honest. Honesty is the glue that binds all of my ethics together. I will be honest in my work because I believe in individual expression.
I promise to enjoy life. This promise is one that is just as important as the others listed, if not more. I will celebrate the successes and also learn from my failures, with this, it will help me stay grounded and appreciate the unknowns.
