     Quote “According to the code of professional and ethical conduct of the Philippine press institute, “all efforts must be exerted to make stories fair, accurate and balanced.” However, Philippine Daily Inquirer’s “Cop ambushed in Pasig” by Kristine Alave and Philippine Star’s “Cop linked to Boratong killed in ambush” by Non Alquitran (this post dated Jan. 22, 2008 ) do not give the same information. One of these two newspapers certainly is inaccurate. Philippine Star stated the PO2 Roland Faraon, was the policeman who died while Philippine Daily Inquirer said it was PO2 Rolan Faraon. Who died? Was it Roland or Rolan? Inquirer said Faraon was one of 22 Pasig City policemen charged of protecting the shabu market while Star said he was one of 21. Inquirer said Faraon was working in Camp Ricardo Papa, Taguig City while Star said in Camp Bagong Diwa in Bicutan, Taguig City. The readers need to know the right information and writers need to be accurate at all times. Jan 22, 4:12 PM”

Face Value, Network Wars. Written by Angel Robles

     Quote “The network war between ABS CBN and GMA is worsening as we speak (this post dated Jan. 21, 2008 – blog admin).  GMA, which clearly violates KBP’s rule regarding the number of commercials that should be aired per hour of programming, now even airs testimonials of its talents, namely, Richard Gutierrez and Jessica Sojo. When I listened to Richard’s statement it was very carefully worded – stating it was the station that helped him in his growth as a TV personality. It was subtle in reminding the audience about the shows credibility – never hinting that the reason behind this is the ratings issue they have with ABS CBN.

     

          Quote “I am not saying which station is at fault for the AGB Nielsen issue. What I disapprove of, and what I think breaches ethical standards is the use of these well-recognized personalities as spokespersons for an issue that clearly does not concern them. Moreover, by doing so, GMA promotes a trial-by-media for the issue, as if asking the audience to decide who is telling the truth based on the personalities’ credibility. Jan 21, 8:32 PM” closed-quote.
