"The media must provide citizens with accurate, comprehensive and high-quality information, this being both a right and a duty. It is vital for citizens to have access, through the media, to relevant, clear and fact-based information on the crises, as this can have a decisive impact on society’s ability to cope effectively with tense situations such as health crises, environmental disasters, acts of terrorism, social violence or armed conflicts."
All media should provide citizens with accurate and correct
information, as well as contribute to the development of an adequate understanding of crisis phenomena. Citizens need access to unbiased, objective and fact-based information.
