Why Journalists May Record Calls

Description:

As a journalist has a responsibility to report news in an accurate and non-biased manner, many writers in the political realm have utilized call recording so as to maintain an authenticity and accuracy for their reporting. Often considered an indispensible part of maintaining journalistic integrity, recording interviews or conversations can also be a help for a journalist who might need to refer back to actual conversations rather than written notes. Some journalists do not let their subjects know they are recording while others make it standard practice to notify the person on the other side of the line that they are being recorded.
