The National Association of Newspapers - ANJ - approved on Thursday (26), in Brasilia, the Permanent Program for Self-Regulation of the JNA, by means of which the principal points, among others, five paths of good practices that can be followed by the members for implementation in their companies. A booklet containing the Program will be available on the website of the Association.

"Especially after the fall of the press law, the Supreme Court, there was a need for specific action to regulate the publication of news, beyond a desire of the JNA in promoting greater transparency in the relationship with readers," said Association President, Judith Brito. She said the program of self-regulation shows "that the JNA will not accept outside interference or censorship in the practice of journalism," and reflects the "tremendous responsibility that take the newspapers."
.
On this issue, participate in the JNA Friday (27) in headquarters of the Supreme Court (STF) in Brasilia Forum International Press Freedom and the Judiciary. Includes representatives from major national newspapers and other countries.
.
In the General Assembly were approved also amend the bylaws to fit the program's implementation. The statutory change, as the director of Governmental Relations Committee of the Association, Paul Campbell Tonet was done in section II of Chapter III, which defines the duties of members. With it, newspapers and websites should create a model of self-regulation, communicate and be clear about JNA readers what is being imposed. The period for implementation, if a year or more, still to be decided.
.
Judith Brito believes that self-regulation, reflected in the program launched by the Association, is "large, decentralized and designed and implemented as the need for each newspaper, in accordance with their readership, in a transparent manner." The model suggested by the entity, according to Vice President Nelson Sirotsky does not follow any trend, because there is a world standard for the topic, but is the result of the study of various models run in Brazilian and foreign newspapers.
