Radio Pastor’s Code of Ethics

Radio Pastor’s Code of Ethics

1. Closing on Time
Finish your program when it’s supposed to end. Don’t run over into another show or cut off suddenly. Respect people’s time.

2. Truthfulness
Always tell the truth. Don’t spread lies, rumors, or things you aren’t sure about.

3. Accountability
If you make a mistake, admit it and fix it. Don’t blame others or hide it.

4. Respect for Privacy
Don’t share people’s personal stories or details without their permission.

5. Avoiding Sensationalism
Don’t make things sound bigger or scarier than they really are just to get attention.

6. Cultural Sensitivity
Respect people from different backgrounds, languages, and traditions. Don’t mock or insult.

7. Promoting Peace and Unity
Use your words to bring people together, not to cause fights or division.

8. Balanced Commentary
When you talk about issues, be fair. Don’t push only your side or bias.

9. Avoiding Exploitation
Don’t take advantage of listeners’ faith, fears, or emotions to get money or favors.

10. Clarity and Understandability
Speak clearly and simply. Make sure everyone can follow your message.

11. Avoiding Conflict of Interest
Don’t secretly promote political parties, businesses, or anything that may confuse your role as a pastor.

12. Responsible Use of Humor
Jokes are fine, but don’t use humor to insult, embarrass, or disrespect people.

13. Respect for Other Religions
Don’t attack other religions. Speak your truth with love, not insults.

14. Avoiding Plagiarism
If you use someone else’s sermon, story, or song, give them credit. Don’t claim it as your own.

15. Ethical Advertising
If you advertise something, make sure it’s real and honest. Don’t trick people.

16. Personal Integrity
Live what you preach. Off-air life should match on-air words.

17. Awareness of Live Microphone
Always behave as if the microphone is on. Don’t gossip, argue, or say something careless.

18. Punctuality
Start on time. Listeners and the station are counting on you.

19. Handling Mistakes Gracefully
If you mispronounce, forget, or slip, correct yourself calmly and move on. Don’t panic.

20. Monitoring Volume and Tone
Keep your voice clear and steady. Don’t shout, mumble, or whisper.

21. Avoiding Over-Talking Guests
When someone else is speaking, let them finish. Don’t interrupt too much.

22. Awareness of Background Noise
Don’t let coughing, phone ringing, or papers rustling disturb the broadcast.

23. Avoiding Filler Words
Cut down on “uh,” “um,” and “you know.” They make you sound unsure.

24. Preparedness
Get ready before going on-air. Have your Bible, notes, and plan ready.

25. Respect for Scheduled Breaks
Take breaks, ads, and prayer slots at the right times. Stick to the schedule.
