Omladinski magazin Karike prostor je u kojem mladi iz Bosne i Hercegovine istražuju teme koje oblikuju njihov život, iznose vlastita iskustva i postavljaju pitanja onima koji donose odluke. U javnom interesu izvještavamo o pitanjima važnim mladima i zajednicama u kojima žive, uz poštovanje dostojanstva osoba o kojima pišemo.

Izdavač Omladinskog magazina Karike je Udruženje Omladinska novinska asocijacija u BiH (ONA u BiH).

Ovi standardi važe za uredništvo, novinare/ke, dopisnike/ce i vanjske saradnike/ce. Primjenjujemo ih na tekstove, fotografije, audio i videosadržaje te na objave na službenim kanalima magazina. U radu se vodimo Kodeksom za štampane i online medije Bosne i Hercegovine i smjernicama Vijeća za štampu i online medije u BiH. Kao referentni okvir za transparentnost i uredničku odgovornost koristimo i Journalism Trust Initiative (JTI), međunarodni standard koji su pokrenuli Reporteri bez granica (RSF).

1. Urednička nezavisnost i transparentnost

Kada sadržaj nastane u okviru projekta ili uz finansijsku podršku, tu podršku navodimo uz objavu. Oglase i sponzorirane sadržaje jasno označavamo i odvajamo od uredničkog sadržaja.

2. Tačnost, provjera izvora i fer izvještavanje

Osobi ili instituciji na koju se odnose ozbiljne optužbe ili kritike dajemo razumnu priliku da odgovori prije objave. Ako odgovor ne dobijemo do objave, to navodimo. Naknadno pristigli odgovor razmatramo i, kada je relevantan za priču, objavljujemo ga ili uključujemo u ažuriranu verziju.

Vijesti, reportaže i istraživačke priče jasno razlikujemo od komentara, kolumni i ličnih eseja. I u autorskim tekstovima provjeravamo činjenične tvrdnje. Naslovi, fotografije, opisi i najave na društvenim mrežama moraju vjerno odražavati sadržaj i njegov kontekst.

3. Dostojanstvo, ravnopravnost i inkluzivno izvještavanje

Karike objavljuju različita iskustva i stavove. Uredništvo odbija sadržaj koji podstiče mržnju ili nasilje, ponižava ljude ili opravdava diskriminaciju na osnovu njihovih ličnih svojstava, uključujući nacionalnu ili etničku pripadnost, vjeru, rasu, spol, rodni identitet, seksualnu orijentaciju, dob, invaliditet i zdravstveno stanje.

Lična svojstva navodimo kada su relevantna za razumijevanje priče. Kada izvještavamo o diskriminaciji ili govoru mržnje, objašnjavamo kontekst i prenosimo samo onoliko uvredljivog materijala koliko je potrebno da publika razumije događaj. Osobama i zajednicama o kojima izvještavamo nastojimo dati prostor da same govore o svojim iskustvima.

4. Privatnost i razgovor s djecom i mladima

Prije objave ličnih podataka, fotografija, snimaka ili detalja iz privatnog života procjenjujemo javni interes, moguću štetu i možemo li ispričati priču uz manje zadiranje u privatnost. Posebnu pažnju posvećujemo djeci i maloljetnicima/ama, osobama koje su preživjele nasilje i sagovornicima/ama koje bi objava mogla izložiti stigmatizaciji, pritisku ili odmazdi.

Sagovornicima/ama objašnjavamo svrhu razgovora te gdje i u kojem formatu planiramo objaviti njihove izjave ili snimke. U razgovoru s djecom i maloljetnicima/ama koristimo jezik primjeren njihovoj dobi i, kada je potrebno, tražimo saglasnost roditelja ili staratelja. Prije objave procjenjujemo moguće posljedice za dijete i kada je saglasnost data.

Kada štitimo nečiji identitet, vodimo računa i o detaljima koji ga mogu otkriti, poput fotografije, glasa, škole, mjesta stanovanja ili porodičnih okolnosti. Identitet povjerljivih izvora štitimo u skladu s dogovorom i procjenom rizika.

5. Sukob interesa i odgovornost prema tuđem radu

Autori/ce i saradnici/e prije rada na temi prijavljuju uredništvu lične, poslovne, finansijske ili druge veze koje bi mogle utjecati na njihovu nezavisnost. Uredništvo procjenjuje može li osoba raditi na temi uz jasno objavljenu napomenu ili zadatak treba preuzeti neko drugi. Odbijamo poklone, usluge i pogodnosti koje bi mogle utjecati na izvještavanje.

Tuđe tekstove, fotografije, snimke i podatke koristimo uz navođenje izvora i poštovanje autorskih prava. Uredništvo odgovara za sadržaj objavljen na kanalima magazina, uključujući sadržaj vanjskih saradnika/ca.

6. Ispravke, pravo na odgovor i prigovori

Kada utvrdimo činjeničnu grešku, ispravljamo je bez nepotrebnog odlaganja. Uz sadržaj navodimo šta je ispravljeno i kada, ako izmjena utječe na smisao ili razumijevanje objave. Ako smo netačnu informaciju prenijeli i na društvenim mrežama, ispravku objavljujemo i na tim kanalima kad god je to moguće.

Zahtjeve za ispravku, odgovor ili demanti, kao i prigovore na objavljeni sadržaj, možete poslati na redakcija@karike.ba. U poruci navedite poveznicu na objavu, dio sadržaja na koji se prigovor odnosi i kratko obrazloženje. Uredništvo će razmotriti zahtjev i obavijestiti vas o svojoj odluci.

Ako smatrate da je objavom prekršen profesionalni kodeks, a odgovor uredništva izostane ili niste zadovoljni ishodom, možete se obratiti Vijeću za štampu i online medije u BiH.

Code of Ethics and Editorial Standards

Karike Youth Magazine gives young people in Bosnia and Herzegovina a space to investigate the issues that shape their lives, share their experiences and ask questions of decision-makers. We report in the public interest on issues that matter to young people and their communities, while respecting the dignity of the people we cover.

Karike Youth Magazine is published by Udruženje Omladinska novinska asocijacija u BiH (ONA u BiH), the Youth Press Association in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

These standards apply to our editorial team, journalists, correspondents and external contributors. They cover articles, photographs, audio and video content, and posts on the magazine’s official channels.

Our work is guided by the Code for Print and Online Media in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the guidance of the Press and Online Media Council in Bosnia and Herzegovina. We also use the Journalism Trust Initiative (JTI), an international standard initiated by Reporters Without Borders (RSF), as a reference for transparency and editorial accountability.

1. Editorial independence and transparency

The Karike editorial team decides which stories to cover, how to report them and what to publish. Political parties, public institutions, advertisers, funders and project partners have no authority to dictate editorial conclusions or make publication conditional on their approval.

When content is produced as part of a project or with financial support, we disclose that support alongside the publication. We clearly label advertising and sponsored content and keep them separate from editorial content.

2. Accuracy, source verification and fair reporting

Before publication, we verify key claims, data and quotations. Wherever possible, we rely on original documents, primary data and firsthand accounts. We explain where important information comes from and make clear what remains unverified at the time of publication.

We give people and institutions facing serious allegations or criticism a reasonable opportunity to respond before publication. If we receive no response by the time we publish, we say so. We review responses received after publication and, when relevant to the story, publish them or incorporate them into an updated version.

We clearly distinguish news, features and investigative stories from commentary, columns and personal essays. We also verify factual claims in opinion pieces and personal essays. Headlines, photographs, captions and social media posts must accurately reflect the content and its context.

3. Dignity, equality and inclusive reporting

Karike publishes a range of experiences and viewpoints. We reject content that incites hatred or violence, degrades people or justifies discrimination based on personal characteristics, including nationality or ethnicity, religion, race, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability and health status.

We mention personal characteristics when they are relevant to understanding the story. When reporting on discrimination or hate speech, we explain the context and reproduce only as much offensive material as readers need to understand what happened. We seek to give the people and communities we cover room to speak about their experiences in their own words.

4. Privacy and interviewing children and young people

Before publishing personal data, photographs, recordings or details of someone’s private life, we assess the public interest, the potential harm and whether we can tell the story with less intrusion. We take particular care when reporting on children and other people under 18, survivors of violence and interviewees who could face stigma, pressure or retaliation as a result of publication.

We explain the purpose of the interview and where and in what format we intend to publish statements or recordings. When interviewing children and young people under 18, we use age-appropriate language and seek consent from a parent or guardian where required. We consider the possible consequences for the child before publication, even when consent has been given.

When protecting someone’s identity, we consider details that could reveal it, such as a photograph, a voice, a school, a place of residence or family circumstances. We protect the identities of confidential sources in line with our agreement with them and our assessment of the risks.

5. Conflicts of interest and respect for others’ work

Before taking on an assignment, writers and contributors disclose any personal, professional, financial or other ties that could affect their independence. The editorial team decides whether the person can cover the story with a clear disclosure or whether someone else should take on the assignment. We decline gifts, favours and benefits that could influence our reporting.

When using other people’s writing, photographs, recordings or data, we credit the source and respect copyright. The editorial team is responsible for content published on the magazine’s channels, including work by external contributors.

6. Corrections, right of reply and complaints

When we identify a factual error, we correct it without undue delay. If the change affects the meaning of the publication or how it is understood, we add a note explaining what was corrected and when. If we also shared the inaccurate information on social media, we publish a correction on those channels wherever possible.

You can send requests for a correction or a right of reply, as well as complaints about published content, to redakcija@karike.ba. Please include a link to the publication, identify the part you are referring to and briefly explain your concern. The editorial team will review your request and inform you of its decision.

If you believe a publication breached the professional code and the editorial team has not responded or you are dissatisfied with the outcome, you can contact the Press and Online Media Council in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
