The Gambia Press Union approved an updated ethics charter for media professionals during Thursday's gathering at African Princess Hotel in Kotu. Principal Magistrate Muhammed Krubally endorsed the document as essential guidance for proper journalistic conduct. The magistrate emphasized how the charter establishes clear standards that promote professional reporting practices. He noted the framework aligns with United Nations disability rights conventions that Gambia ratified in 2015. Krubally urged media workers to follow legal boundaries while avoiding inflammatory content that damages society.

Secretary General Modou Joof praised participants for their engagement throughout the validation process. He stressed that the revised Chernor Jallow Charter arrives when media faces significant challenges regarding misinformation and harmful speech. The document addresses fake news, discrimination, and accessibility concerns for disabled persons. Joof reminded journalists that public confidence depends on ethical reporting that holds government accountable. Media professionals and journalism students must maintain high standards since oversight bodies monitor violations.
