The Talossan Press Association (TPA) is dedicated to the promotion of the Press and Media of Talossa. The TPA provides opportunities for journalists and others interested in the media to learn about new developments and debate the latest issues concerning the Talossan media industry.
The TPA was founded in 2009 by Éovart Grischun and was the direct successor to the Talossan Press Club, which had lay dormant for several years. Grischun served as the Association's chairperson from its founding in 2009 until August 2013. The current chairperson is Munditenens Tresplet, who adopted the role on 1st August 2013.
The TPA Endorsed Journalistic Code
The TPA encourages Talossan journalists to voluntarily embrace the following guidelines and Code of Ethics, regardless of place or platform. The code is intended not as a set of "rules" but as a resource for ethical decision-making when reporting. The TPA holds at its core the belief in the free flow of information. These guidelines are here to aid in the free flow of information via the Talossan Press and only are here to assist in an untampered flow. At times, some guidelines may be overlooked to get to the core of a story.
NB: Affiliate Members are permitted to display the 'Affiliate Member's Seal' on their websites, blogs or publications. Readers can be sure that when this symbol is displayed that the following code has been followed whenever possible (see image).
- Journalists should act in an honest and fair manner when reporting news and should treat sources, subjects and audiences with respect. Do not become arrogant when seeking news. Be especially sensitive and compassionate when reporting news dealing with children and those affected by grief or tragedy. Recognize the right of privacy whenever possible; unnecessary intrusion is never warranted.
- Take efforts to verify your sources before reporting news. Identify your sources when possible as your audience is entitled to information on your sources' reliability. Don't break promises of anonymity of sources. Try to provide your subjects an opportunity for rebuttal.
- Do not allow your news material to misrepresent a situation and never falsify photos or videos, unless you make clear that it has been done for effect. This does not apply to satirical cartoons and jokes. Never plagiarize and always give credit for quotations.
- Avoid stereotyping of any nature.
- Take efforts to ensure that your outlet has a complaints procedure and take efforts to ensure procedures for remedial action. When you have made a mistake in your reporting, efforts should be made to admit, apologise and rectify said mistakes.
