I do declare my interests
I WELCOME Mike Cross’s suggestion (last issue) for a voluntary register of journalists’ interests and think the practical ways in which this could be developed deserves some serious discussion.
For the past two years or so, I’ve chosen to make my own voluntary declaration of gifts and hospitality received, via my own website; perhaps coincidentally, I seem to get far fewer offers of hospitality these days than once I did.
I’m happy to make this information public, and feel that it is appropriate for a journalist to be transparent about this side of our business. My website also includes a brief statement on the ethical and professional standards I try to maintain, together with a link to the NUJ’s Code of Conduct.
