In a consultative workshop held here on Monday, media professionals from print, electronic, and social media convened to discuss and devise a framework aimed at bolstering responsible practices. The workshop, under the “Faith in Action for Equal Rights and Opportunities” initiative, provided a platform for journalists from all media domains to deliberate on the importance of promoting ethical behavior and accountability.
A significant outcome of the workshop was the development of a “Charter of Demand” and social media guidelines. This comprehensive document sets out guidelines to be used as a reference for capacity building and sensitization of youth about responsible use of social media.
It sheds light on the importance of respecting social diversity and provides a staunch stance against hate speech targeting individuals based on their ethnic, social, religious, and political identities.
