"The Permanent Media Commission of the Chamber of Deputies, in collaboration with representatives of the Ministry of Labor and the Dominican College of Journalists (CDP, for its Spanish acronym), met to discuss the bill that establishes a "conscience clause" to safeguard the labor rights of journalists and communication professionals.
[...]
Deputy Tobías Crespo, proponent of the bill, defined the "conscience clause" as a fundamental right that allows journalists to inform in an objective, plural and effective manner, respecting the ethical codes of communication, as established in the 2010 Constitution.
[...]
The president of the CDP, Aurelio Henríquez, emphasized that the approval of this bill not only complies with a constitutional mandate, but also settles a pending debt with journalism and society as a whole."
