services, yet he has a prior and perpetual retainer on behalf of truth and justice.” From the above precedent and Jurisprudence, it is also my firm view that, despite the fact that our fellow professionals here being Journalists, have like other professionals the duty of care to their clients. The duty to tell them the truth and nothing but the truth is paramount for the interest of Justice and truth. It is a mistake for him just to tell his clients what they just want to hear or what they desire to hear or read, but they should be told the truth. It is a mistake to suppose that he is the mouthpiece of his readers to say what he wants, or his tool to do what he directs. The Journalist in my view owes allegiance to a higher cause. It is the cause of truth and justice. He must not consciously misstate the facts, and he must not knowingly conceal the truth. He must not unjustly make a charge of misappropriation of any kind without evidence to support the same. In the event of serious allegations such as the ones in the instant case, the journalist when it comes to this point of litigation, he is expected to produce all the relevant evidence that he believes that made him do what he did. The code requires a professional to do all this in good faith and allegiance to those who are to be informed. It is a code of honor. If he breaks it, he is offending against the rules of profession and is subject to its discipline. 30
