Directive 8.3: Protection of victims

The authors of reports on tragic events or acts of violence should always weigh carefully the public's right to know against the interests of victims and other concerned people. The journalist must avoid any sensational presentation in which a human being is degraded or treated as an object. It is particularly the case for the dying, the suffering or the dead of whom presentation in text or image should not go beyond decent limits appropriate to legitimate public interest.
