Respect the sanctity of private space,
A sentinel’s duty, protecting the grace.
In the sphere of journalism, let privacy reign,
A shield for individuals from unwarranted pain.

Let the legacy endure, a timeless caress.
For in ethical reporting, a legacy is spun,
A chronicle of truth, for generations to come.
