Abstract:
The goal of the study was to determine how the university's ethical standards affected the work of UBC's female journalists. It looked at how well-informed and conscientious female journalists are about respecting the professional code of conduct while executing their jobs, as well as the difficulties they experience in doing so. Self-administered questionnaires and textual analysis were the two main strategies employed in this study, which combined qualitative and quantitative methodologies. In order to give people, the confidence to request safety nets, the poll asked the respondents if they were familiar with some of the key statements. The statement that "Journalists should really not take risks in pursuing a story if they feel they would likely be exposed" was known by just over half of the participants. The assertion that "A reporter can refuse a hazardous employment" was, nevertheless, recognized to less than half (49.6%) of participants. The report urges Ugandan media organizations to train staff members on appropriate professional behavior and place a high priority on upholding it while at work, among other recommendations. The second argument is that media firms should consider other options for resolving the difficulties that their personnel encounter in team to perform and competency.
