There is a higher calling — one that rests in an honored realm beyond the ordinary affairs of men.
It is a sacred place — having been erected in the traditions of freedom, and consecrated in the blood of those who have paid the ultimate price in pursuing journalism’s enduring quest for truth.
The Honorable House Of The Fourth Estate being that place in the American experience where the bells of freedom ring loud and clear so that all free men and women shall forever know what matters most to their livelihoods, families, communities and nation.
Credible - Responsible - Probative
Credibility is the foundation for all journalism no matter medium or method of transmission.Relevancy to our livelihoods, families, communities and nation are central to how we define news.
New media journalism is a servant of the people.
Being relevant demands that new media journalism stand-in for our viewers, readers, listeners or visitors and defend the public’s right to know what persons, institutions and governments are doing in the name of free and sovereign citizens.
Experienced and credible new media news services are tenured, qualified and full fledged members of the free press, second to none and equal to all.
Probity, accuracy, balance, provenance, and credibility in journalism are the currency of the realm in earning and maintaining public trust and confidence.

We are calling on both the Government and the rebels to focus on dialogue that can avert violence and lead to a peaceful resolution and respect for the Libreville Comprehensive Peace Agreement. We welcome regional efforts to seek a political solution and to reinforce security.

UN Renews Call For Dialogue To Resolve Crisis In Central African Republic
New York, Jan 2 2013
The United Nations continues to follow the situation in the Central Africa Republic (CAR) with serious concern and calls on both the Government and the rebels to resolve the current crisis through dialogue, a spokesperson for the world body said today.
Following recent attacks on several towns, rebels in CAR have reportedly halted their advance on the capital, Bangui, and agreed to start peace talks. Both Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the Security Council had condemned the attacks and called on the rebels to halt hostilities.
They had also urged all parties to abide by the 2008 Libreville Comprehensive Peace Agreement, which was signed by the Government and the three main rebel groups and which helped bring an end to conflicts inside CAR.
“We are calling on both the Government and the rebels to focus on dialogue that can avert violence and lead to a peaceful resolution and respect for the Libreville Comprehensive Peace Agreement,” a UN spokesperson, Martin Nesirky, told reporters in New York. “We welcome regional efforts to seek a political solution and to reinforce security.”
The UN is coordinating with Margaret Vogt, the Secretary-General’s Special Representative and Head of the UN Integrated Peacebuilding Office in CAR (BINUCA), who has remained in close dialogue with the key parties and the region and has offered support to political negotiations.
Mr. Nesirky also reiterated the Security Council’s statement from last week, which calls on all parties to refrain from any acts of violence against civilians, respect human rights and seek a peaceful solution.
As a security precaution, UN international staff members have all been temporarily relocated outside the country.
