We Declare a Boycott of the Media Outlet Pro TV Chișinău for Defying the Code of Ethics
Automatically translated summary. The full article is available in Romanian.
The Independent Think Tank “Expert-Grup” has announced a boycott of the television channel Pro TV Chișinău. It says the channel's report from Ungheni disregarded the right to private life and human dignity, and that the broadcaster has neither removed the report from its website nor apologised publicly.
Expert-Grup says the case reflects a wider lack of honour and responsibility among public figures and institutions that refuse to own up to serious errors of judgement. Under the boycott, it will decline any request to comment on any subject, will not send Pro TV Chișinău press releases or information about its products, and will not send invitations to its public events.
The boycott will remain in place until Pro TV Chișinău issues a proper public apology and publicly commits to respecting journalistic ethical rules. Expert-Grup also urges other public, governmental and non-governmental institutions, experts and independent analysts to follow suit. An update says many organisations have joined, including Amnesty International, Transparency International and PROMO-LEX, and that the list is being updated.
