Journalists' Ten Commandments for the New Year
As the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, approaches, a call for introspection is being extended to media professionals. The publication "Kikar Magazine" has compiled a list of ten "commandments" or resolutions for journalists to consider as the year תשפ"ו begins.
These points are presented as a form of self-examination, urging journalists to reflect on their professional conduct and ethical responsibilities. The list aims to encourage self-awareness and accountability within the media industry as a new year commences.
The article frames these resolutions as a "confession" or a set of "good resolutions," highlighting the need for journalists to confront their shortcomings and recommit to their professional ideals. The timing, just before Rosh Hashanah, emphasizes the tradition of seeking forgiveness and making amends.
