Quote “Last September 1, I watched GMA 7 news and current affairs program Saksi, hosted by Arnold Clavio and Vicky Morales. It was the height of public attention on UP student Chris Anthony Mendez, an alleged victim of fraternity hazing. On his report, Arnold Clavio mentioned Chris Anthony Mendoza instead of Chris Anthony Mendez. He did not even asked (sic) an apology on air for mistakenly mentioning the surname of the student, although his co-anchor Vicky Morales stated right after his spiels the correct one.This is a clear violation of the Journalist’s Code of Ethics which states that it is the duty of the journalist to correct substantive errors promptly. Although such an error wasn’t quite a big issue, for it might be a mere slip of the tongue, it is still his responsibility to correct himself. Such deed of not correcting himself affects the accuracy of the report.” Closed-quote. Sep 10, 2:33 PM —

Quote “Although GMA 7 is no longer a KBP member, it is not an excuse for them to practice (sic) unethical procedures in their programs. I often watch “Kapuso Mo Jessica Soho” and often do I (sic) observe the same violation from time to time in some of its segment reports.
Quote “Last August 25, the program featured a report entitled, “Plastik Para Sa Inang Kalikasan”. A plastic bag worker from Negros was interviewed where he related on (sic) his native tongue how Yabang Pinoy bayong and bags are created from pandan leaves. The information obtained from the man was undoubtedly an essential element in reporting the said topic.

However, no designation was attributed to him. In fact, he was not even named. The fact that the man, who was not of prominence, contributed to the completion of the story but was not acknowledged, clearly violated the KBP code which states that “voice and video clips of persons involved in the news shall be properly identified.”” Closed-quote.

Quote ”The Inquirer article titled (sic) “Debt, population growth keeping us poor — Lagman” (2 September 2007) appeared almost like a collage of excerpts of Rep. Edcel Lagman’s speech. It had the Albay congressman as its sole source.

Quote “I suggest that reporter Norman Bordadora and his editors remind themselves of their “duty to air the other side” of the news (No. 1, PPI Code of Ethics). They have to give the reading public the fair and accurate news they deserve.” Closed-quote. Sep 7, 9:26 AM —
