Definition

  • The field of media ethics encompasses a range of work that applies moral philosophy, ethics discourse, and social-science approaches for the purpose of documenting and critiquing practices in journalism, public relations, advertising, and other types of communication. Scholarship in media ethics has sought to bring various philosophical claims to bear on media practice, to construct normative frameworks for behavior, and to draw upon the philosophies of mind and technology to articulate the moral duties of communicators in a variety of contexts.
