VOP news should be covered in depth, providing clarity and full information.

VOP listeners should hear all points of view on any given issue.

VOP journalists are encouraged to establish networks with both  government and civic society organizations in order to source for balanced viewpoints.

VOP production teams should always monitor all the station’s broadcasts for self-improvement.

VOP programming should always have a mechanism of addressing criticism of the station.

VOP programming is done in Zimbabwe’s three main national languages of Shona, Ndebele and English.

VOP programming should always have the aim of enhancing Zimbabwe’s democracy.

VOP news should be timely and anticipatory.

VOP programming in the main is issue rather than event- driven.
