Novinari kao kreatori javnog mišljenja imaju veliku odgovornost prema medijskim korisnicima stoga je vrlo važno znati ispravno oblikovati i odaslati određeni sadržaj u medijski prostor. Novinar mora pravodobno izvijestiti o određenoj temi, a sama informacija mora biti točna i provjerena. Izvor je ključan i on uvijek mora biti vjerodostojan. Odgovornost novinara odražava se u mogućnosti da medijski korisnici krivo protumače određenu informaciju jer je ona tako objašnjenja u novinarskom prilogu. Posebnu odgovornost novinari imaju prema djeci stoga je vrlo važno da se prilikom izvještavanja o maloljetnicima pridržavaju etičkih pravila struke. Primjerice, identitet djece potrebno je uvijek sakriti ukoliko bi navedeni prilog mogao negativno utjecati na samo dijete, a osobito ako je dijete počinitelj, žrtva ili svjedok nasilnog djela. Sve je to definirano kroz etička pravila struke kojih se svaki novinar mora pridržavati ukoliko želi časno obnašati svoju dužnost.

Journalists as public opinion makers have a great responsibility for the reader / listener / viewer, so it is very important to know how to properly form and deliver certain content to the media. Journalism is a science that deals with the exploration of different topics attitudes. Very often due to the distorted image of the media, they create the wrong opinions about something. A journalist is the one who, by forming his media content, is responsive to the reader, audience, or consumer of a particular media. A journalist with no responsibility to a preacher can not reasonably report on a particular topic. The information must be accurate and verified because it should never be misleading. The journalist's responsibility is read in the ability of the reader to misunderstand certain information because it is so explained in the text or in the reportage. Special responsibility for journalists is toward children because there are numerous ethical rules in reporting on juveniles. Identity is always hidden and reporting alone in one situation can not directly affect the mentioned child. All of this is defined through the rules of the relative ethics of investigative journalism, which every one ought to adhere to. The source is key and he must always be credible verified.
