On September 20, the Internews office in Tajikistan issued a statement urging media representatives to “remain true to their profession and adhere to international journalism standards, which require the dissemination of only objective, impartial, and reliable information.”
The statement notes that “in times of conflict, it is especially difficult for journalists to fulfill their professional duty without succumbing to emotions.”
“How journalists cover the situation at the border can significantly influence the development of events in the future. The dissemination of false information and hate speech can harm the fragile process of peaceful resolution. That is why it is particularly important for journalists and media representatives from both countries to adhere to the principle of impartiality,” the statement reads.
As a result of armed clashes at the border with Kyrgyzstan, more than 100 people have died, and hundreds have been injured.
In these difficult days, some journalists from both sides have succumbed to emotions and, in the process of information warfare, have violated international journalism principles.
