The Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) has called on its members to be careful of writing reports and stories that could trigger crisis in view of the attendant implications for peaceful coexistence and social cohesion.
It also called on them to be factual in the dissemination of news and avoid using sensational and misleading headlines of reports before, during and after the 2019 general elections.
The secretary of the NUJ, Bauchi State Council, Yakubu Muhammad Lame, who made the call in a statement made available to newsmen in the state on Thursday advised journalists to stick to professional and credible reporting.
The union then urged journalists to restrict themselves to the ethical framework and stipulated guidelines which would differentiate them from the regular trend of citizenship journalism.
