OverviewA comprehensive introduction to media ethics in South Africa - theory, media codes of conduct and case studies. In this book, ethical journalism is seen as a goal in itself. Not only because it is the best journalism, but also because the media lose credibility when they don't act responsibly. The first section introduces readers to several ethical theories that enable journalists to recognize, analyze and evaluate ethical situations - and to make responsible decisions for the right reasons. Then, drawing on the most important media codes of conduct in South Africa, the second section sets out and discusses ten common ethical denominators. Each of these include the narratives and analysis of five South African case studies.
