Each sentence and word should perform a specific task. Remove unnecessary and ambiguous words. Use simple words and constructions. Be in the world of the reader, not the seller or manager.\u00a0 Context and perspective are fundamental. It\u2019s the goal of our reporters and editors to focus on real people \u2013 not just institutions \u2013 to show in human terms how events affect our lives. It\u2019s a busy world out there so every story about software development needs to convince people that they should make time for it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although our role continues to evolve, the principles that guide our work are unchanged. Everything that we do must be honest, unbiased and unflinchingly fair. We deal with facts that are demonstrable, supported by sources that are reliable and responsible. We pursue with equal vigour all sides of a story.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Accuracy is fundamental. Discovery of a mistake calls for immediate correction. Corrections to stories already published or broadcast must not be grudging or stingy. They must be written in a spirit of genuinely wanting to right a wrong in the fairest and fullest manner.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good taste is a constant consideration. Some essential news is essentially repellent. Its handling need not be.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2><b>STAFF RESPONSIBILITY<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Responsibility for upholding EVNE Developer\u2019s standards rests with our authors, editors and supervisors. So much individuality is involved in reporting, writing and editing news that it is impossible to have precise rules covering every eventuality. Being guided by proven practices is the surest way of meeting the standards in the field.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Among the most important of these practices:<\/b><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Investigate fully before transmitting any story or identifying any individual in a story where there is the slightest reason for doubt. When in doubt cut it out. But never make this an excuse for ditching an angle without thorough checking. The doubt must be an honest doubt, arrived at after examination of all the facts.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cite competent authorities and sources as the origin of any information open to question. Have proof available for publication in the event of a denial.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be impartial when handling any news affecting parties or matters in controversy. Give fair representation to all sides at issue.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stick to the facts without editorial opinion or comment. Reporters\u2019 opinions are not wanted in copy. Their observations are.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Admit errors promptly, frankly. Public distrust of the media is profound and troubling. The distrust is fed by inaccuracy, carelessness, indifference to public sentiment, automatic cynicism about those in public life, perceived bias or unfairness and other sins suggesting arrogance.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The power of news stories to injure can reach both the ordinary citizen and the corporate giant. EVNE Developers\u2019s integrity and sensitivity demand that supervisors and staff respond sympathetically and quickly when an error has been made. It doesn\u2019t matter whether the complaint comes from a timid citizen acting alone or from a powerful figure\u2019s battery of lawyers.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every story shown to be erroneous and involving a corrective must be drawn to the attention of supervisory staff.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2><b>ETHICAL BEHAVIOUR<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Part of our responsibility as authors is to ensure we don\u2019t do anything that demeans the craft or weakens our credibility. Because we deliver various news, we must observe stringent ethical practices, and be seen to be doing so.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is impossible to raise all potential ethical challenges in this book. But the following guiding principles are offered in the spirit of wanting to advance, not restrain, our work.<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pride in yourself and in the practice of journalism nourishes ethical behaviour.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">EVNE Developers pays its own way. Staff should not accept anything that might compromise our integrity or credibility.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">EVNE Developers\u00a0 does not pay newsmakers for interviews, to take their pictures or to film or record them.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2><b>IMPARTIALITY<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Impartiality is somewhat like exercise. You have to work out regularly to build tone and strength.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best exercise for impartiality is to stop regularly and ask yourself: \u201cAm I being as impartial, honest and fair as I can be?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some other guides to impartiality:<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parties in controversy, whether in politics or law or otherwise, receive fair consideration. Statements issued by conflicting interests merit equal prominence, whether combined in a single story or used at separate times.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a comparative unknown expresses controversial views, question his or her expertise on the subject. If there is no expertise, or the individual does not have an official position that puts weight behind the views, consider carefully whether the report should be carried.<\/span><\/p><h2><b>QUOTATIONS<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quotes are the lifeblood of any story. They put rosiness into the cheeks of the palest stories. They add credibility, immediacy and punch.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We correct slips of grammar that are obvious slips and that would be needlessly embarrassing. We remove verbal mannerisms such as ah\u2019s, routine vulgarities and meaningless repetitions. We fix careless spelling mistakes and other typos in emails and text messages. Otherwise we do not revise quotations.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While we don\u2019t routinely use abnormal spellings and grammar to indicate dialects or mispronunciations, they can have a place in helping to convey atmosphere.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><b>Other points to remember about handling quotes:<\/b><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whenever possible, interviews should be recorded. When there is risk that a quote is not exact, for whatever reason, a paraphrase is safest.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When exactness is essential \u2014 if it\u2019s one person\u2019s word against another\u2019s \u2014 quote verbatim.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a speaker uses what is obviously a wrong word, check back when possible. When a quote does not make sense, check back with the speaker or ditch it.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Misquotes result not only from tampering or carelessness. Failure to place a quote in context can have the same eroding effect on credibility.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When clear and concise, a full quote is preferred to a partial quote. But a partial quote can be useful for spicing a lead, setting off a controversial statement or giving the flavour of a speaker.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If words are left out of a text or middle of a quotation, show the omission with an ellipsis.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Long bracketed explanations and paraphrases should not be inserted at the beginning or end of a quote.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Guard against attributing one person\u2019s quote to several speakers.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ul><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not include in a quote words that the speaker could not have spoken.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not alter audio or video clips except to make sound clearer and reduce line noise. Within a clip, edit only to remove pauses and stumbles.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><b>LANGUAGE<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A reminder to be careful with translations. We should not imply that someone is speaking English when he is not.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In interviews and speeches, make clear what language is being used unless it is obvious. When reporting the shouts of a crowd or the wording of protest signs that are in other languages, specify that a translation is involved.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Readers are entitled to know when a direct or indirect quote is based on translation rather than the exact words used.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2><b>OBSCENITY<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Technology has reduced the role of the middleman, allowing our content to be sent directly to readers, viewers and listeners \u2013 unfettered and unfiltered.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the same time, subscribers to our service have come to represent a wide spectrum of users, from small-market broadcasters to big-city newspapers to fledgling online news portals. Each one has a different policy when it comes to the use of obscenity in their reports.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That means it is more vital than ever that EVNE Developers has a clear and unequivocal policy on the use of obscenity \u2014 one that is clearly understood by staff and strictly enforced by supervisors.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Obscenity has no place in the news report, whether in print, audio, or video \u2014 except under some very specific and exceedingly rare circumstances.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stories and photos that contain obscenities or vulgar language should always be transmitted in such a way that they don\u2019t reach online readers automatically. Where possible, a version of the story should be crafted without the obscenity in order for it to be used online.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When such language must be part of audio or video reports, it is carefully flagged and an alternative version that does not include the offensive material is provided. EVNE Developers does not digitally alter images where offensive language appears in a picture or video.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2><b>SENSITIVE SUBJECTS<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Potential for offence lurks in every news story. Age, race, sex, disabilities, religion \u2013 all are sometimes pertinent to the news but must be handled thoughtfully.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use fairness, sensitivity and good taste when identifying age, colour, creed, nationality, personal appearance, religion, sex, sexual orientation and any other heading under which a person or group may feel slighted.<\/span><\/p><h2><b>AGE<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Often age is relevant as part of a personal description or for identification. Ages also help readers to relate to people in news stories.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In general, give a person\u2019s age rather than imprecise and possibly derogatory terms such as <\/span><b>senior citizen, retiree, elderly <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">or <\/span><b>middle-aged<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p><h2><b>DISABILITIES<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be accurate, clear and sensitive when describing a person with a disability, handicap, illness or disease. They are people first; their disability is only one part of their humanity and most would say it is the least important part.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mention a disability only if it is pertinent. Never dismiss someone with an unqualified <\/span><b>disabled, crippled <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">or the like. While it is important to be specific for clarity, there are also some terms that may be used in the scientific community that are not as acceptable in casual use. Don\u2019t define people by their disorders: <\/span><b>the disabled, the blind, the handicapped<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Writing <\/span><b>people with disabilities <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">emphasizes the human beings and not the disabilities.<\/span><\/p><h2><b>RACE AND ETHNICITY<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">EVNE Developers reporting should reflect the ethnic diversity of the country in a natural way, free of explicit or unconscious racism.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identify a person by race, colour, national origin or immigration status only when it is truly pertinent. The appearance of racial minorities in news reports should not be confined to accounts of cultural events, racial tension or crime. Comments on subjects that are a matter of public interest should come from a wide variety of people of different backgrounds.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t always turn to the same minority spokespeople and organizations for reaction. This can give unwarranted standing to groups that don\u2019t necessarily reflect the full range of views of their communities.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arguing that humour was intended is no defence for a racial slur.<\/span><\/p><h2><b>SEXISM<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Treat the sexes equally and without stereotyping. A woman\u2019s marital or family status \u2014 single, married, divorced, grandmother \u2014 is pertinent only to explain a personal reference or to round out a profile. The test always is: Would this information be used if the subject were a man?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some readers find the use of he (him, his) as a word of common or indeterminate gender to be sexist. His or her and the like can be used but may prove awkward. In that case reword the sentence if possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Often a plural construction solves the sex problem:<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Retired officers are not usually referred to by their former rank.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not: A retired officer is not usually referred to by his or her former rank.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The generic man is regarded by some as excluding women. Instead of man or mankind, you can write people, human beings, humanity, human race. Alternatives to manmade include artificial, constructed, manufactured, synthetic. But don\u2019t get carried away. To write human energy or human resources to avoid manpower, or person-eating tiger to avoid man-eating tiger is being hypersensitive.<\/span><\/p><h2><b>SEXUAL ORIENTATION AND GENDER IDENTITY<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The issue of gender identity and expression has evolved rapidly in recent years, testing and reinventing some of society\u2019s most basic boundaries and norms in the process and making the best way to report on gender issues a moving target, to say the least.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because the standards are fluid and ever-changing, the most fundamentally important advice is to tread carefully, remaining flexible and open-minded, and to be guided by the personal preferences of the people you\u2019re writing about. Always explain the person\u2019s preference in copy, and make generous use of the person\u2019s chosen name as an alternative in order to foster as much clarity as possible.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Derogatory terms should be avoided whenever possible, even when part of a direct quotation..<\/span><\/p><h2><b>SOURCES<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cultivating knowledgeable sources who can provide the background and insight necessary for delivering a complete story is the trademark of the excellent author.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting and keeping good sources is hard work. It involves patient telephone work plus breaking free from our desks to get out and meet people.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Authors, editors and supervisors are encouraged to pull back from the front lines occasionally to spend time with people who know what\u2019s happening in the world beyond our own limited horizons.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When dealing with sources, remember that many people are not used to dealing with the media. Ensure they understand they are being quoted, and their words or picture may appear in many newspapers.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A cardinal rule with sources is to avoid close personal involvement. There is nothing wrong with social contact with sources, but close personal relationships can lead to conflicts of interest.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2><b>ETHICS AND SOURCES<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When we do promise anonymity we must scrupulously respect that pledge. But it cannot be absolute and it is only fair to tell potential sources so. The courts may require reporters to disclose sources.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Verbal contracts with sources are enforceable in court. Make sure both you and your source understand precisely what that agreement is before you get the information. Do not make promises you cannot keep.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other details should be clarified with sources. May all material be used, or must some be treated as only for the reporter\u2019s information and guidance (called background or deep background in the jargon of officialdom)? Are direct quotes permissible or only paraphrases?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some phrases like off the record can have different meanings to different people. Be sure everyone is operating under the same meanings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A final caution: The source who does not want to be named in copy will rarely be available to defend EVNE Developers in the event of court action. This could leave us with no defence and lacking any ability to prove what we distributed for public consumption.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2><b>INTERNET AND SOCIAL MEDIA SOURCES<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The internet and social networking sites such as Facebook, where individuals can exchange information, have changed newsgathering. The internet is usually the first stop for journalists looking for information. It is particularly effective in tracking down people who may have direct knowledge of a news event, identifying news tips or trends, finding new sources and confirming factual background.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The same principles used in vetting a source found any other way must be applied to online sources. But there are extra challenges online.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If an online source claims to be an official spokesperson or representative of an organization, confirm that is the case by calling the organization.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Material from websites must be fully credited. Stick to authoritative sites.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Social media sites should not be used as the sole source of factual information. And since you cannot know for sure who is saying the words, it is best to try to establish direct contact by sending a message through the site and asking for a phone interview before reporting comments from someone claiming to have special knowledge of the story.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Information from Wikipedia, which describes itself as a site \u201canyone can edit,\u201d should be confirmed through another source, such as a government or professional website.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The same copyright rules apply to material from websites as print publications. Material must be fully credited when paraphrased and enclosed in quotation marks when carried word for word. Guard against accidentally cutting and pasting words that are not your own into copy with proper attribution.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h2><b>CORRECTIONS AND CORRECTIVES<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mistakes happen. Misinformation gets reported. When it does, the first priority is always to get it fixed, quickly and properly.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stories exist in continuous publication online for at least 24 hours, though some types of items can be online much longer. Although there are contractual limits on how long websites can archive EVNE Developers content, often these stories are kept online much longer. Unlike a newspaper version, online stories aren&#8217;t frozen in one form. They can be changed at any time in their life as current online news.
