EJN Director speaks to Russia Today About Ethics in Journalism

The role of journalism is to speak truth to power. Yet many factors, such as pressures in the media industry and nationalism, blurs the line between bias and propaganda leading some journalists to become lapdogs to the powerful instead of critical voices.
