"Right now we need to think about the future. After all, when the war is over, people will not stop talking about the war. And we are now responsible for how the history and course of the war will be described in the international media. We are the ones who have to promote journalistic ethics, quality understanding and proper training of young journalists. When we train students of journalism, we must make sure that they clearly understand what journalistic ethics is and what its "rules of the game" are. Ethics is the basic law of every journalist during a military conflict."
