Media coverage of oneself and one’s affiliates. Written by Student # 9. Unedited by blog admin
Quote “Last Jan. 11, 2008, JP Soriano in GMA 7’s 24 Oras reported about a fire in Guadalupe Viejo, Makati City. Then, somewhere in the report, Soriano said that GMA Kapuso Foundation extended help to the victims of the fire. Soriano did not say that GMA Kapuso Foundation is an affiliate of GMA 7.
Quote “This is an ethical violation because the the foundation’s being an affiliate of GMA 7 was not disclosed. According to the PPI expanded code of ethics, advocacies and organizational involvements must be disclosed. The reporter himself may not be part of GMA Kapuso Foundation, but the institution he works form (sic), which is included in the news, is affiliated with it. This fact must be disclosed. Otherwise, GMA 7 as a media organization may be viewed as promoting its affiliates. 2008/03/07” closed-quote.

March post. From JP Soriano:
Quote “hi, this is jp soriano of gma 7 news, I came accross your blog entry about my report aired last jan. 11, 2008, I just want to say I appreciate your comment over my report, rest assured we will take these comments constructively and will keep in mind your comments and suggestions.
Quote “ However, if I failed to mention that gma kapuso foundation is an affiliate of gma7 itself this was unintentional.
