Recommendation

The affiliates of the Council for Mass Media should bring all media operators in Finland to the negotiating table to discuss the protocol to be adhered to in a crisis and how to report the events appropriately. The ‘Guidelines for Journalists’ material should be revised on the basis of these negotiations, and the media should ensure that appropriate protocol is followed in all circumstances.
