About

PNN’s mission is to create content to inform and educate the students of our school and surrounding community with anything and everything that will affect the normal flow of their daily lives.  Our job is to seek the truth and report it, to minimize harm, act independently, and be accountable and transparent.

Seek The Truth and Report It

We must take responsibility for the accuracy of our work and verify the information before it is released, and to use original sources whenever possible.  Also remember that neither speed nor format excuses inaccuracy.

Minimize Harm

We must also balance the public’s need for information against potential harm or discomfort.  We must also show compassion for those who may be affected by the news being covered, use heightened sensitivity when dealing with juveniles, victims of sex crimes, and sources or subjects who are inexperienced or unable to give consent.

Act Independent

We must avoid conflict of interest, real or perceived, and disclose unavoidable conflicts.  Also be wary of sources that offer information for favor or money; do not pay for access to the news.

Be Accountable and Transparent

Ethical journalism means taking responsibility for one’s work and explaining one’s decision to the public

And Above All, Respect the Faculty, Staff, Students and Parents of Daniel Pearl Magnet High School
