Perspectives on journalism in Libya: ethics and integrity

The session was an opportunity to examine the principles and practicalities of ethical journalism in light of the situation created by the Libyan crisis.
The assembled journalists gave their views on ethics in journalism and on applying a code of integrity when covering events linked to the situation in Libya.

In particular, the question of how to deal with armed violence was evidently a subject of much debate during the session. It also became apparent that the Libyan media now have an important influence on public debate.
