One of the biggest challenges for journalists covering a campaign is to remain focused on the information most useful to voters. As a means of protection against the multiple pressures that arise during elections, journalists must adhere to the basic code ethics of their profession. All information must be accurate, verifiably balanced, neutral and respectful of human dignity. Journalists must always remember that they serves the interests of ordinary citizens.
