Quote “A single-sourced story was published in the Philippine Daily Inquirer last Jan. 8, 2007. The story, written by Beverly T. Natividad, is entitled “Bishop urges priests: No more Panlilios, please.”
Quote “The story is about Bishop Leonardo Medroso, chair of the CBCP Episcopal Commission on Canon Law telling priests not to run for political office because as priests, their primary role is “to take care of the spiritual and moral lives of His flock.” He added that “politics is a separate vocation” and that being a priest already involves much work.
Quote “In the PDI story mentioned above, the reporter could have also interviewed Gov. Ed Panlilio for his comment and other bishops who have a different stand on the issue. Having done that could have given the story more depth and balance. Jan 10, 9:53 PM —“ closed-quote.
Quote “No one else was interviewed for the story. According to the Code of Professional and Ethical Conduct of the Philippine Press Institute, “single-source stories must be avoided as a rule.” Getting second, third or more sources is a must because we must “ascertain the truth of our sources’ assertions.” Also, we must get the sides of all the parties involved.
