62. META-ISSUES IN MEDIA
ETHICS
• One theoretical question for media ethics is the extent to
which media ethics is just another topical subdivision of
applied ethics, differing only in terms of case applications
and raising no theoretical issues peculiar to itself.
• The oldest subdivisions of applied ethics are medical
ethics and business ethics.
• Does media ethics have anything new to add other than
interesting cases? (What do you think?)

AND OTHER FIELDS OF APPLIED ETHICS

O B S E R V E D.
• The press is one of the primary guardians in a
democratic society of many of the freedoms,
rights and duties discussed by other fields of
applied ethics.

more strongly into the foreground.
• Who guards the guardians? This
question also arises in the field of legal
ethics.

67. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MEDIA ETHICS
AND OTHER FIELDS OF APPLIED ETHICS
• A further self-referentiality or circular characteristic in
media ethics is the questioning of its own values.
• Meta-issues can become identical with the subject matter
of media ethics.
• This is most strongly seen when artistic elements are
considered.
• Benetton advertisements and Turner prize candidates are
both examples of ethically questionable media uses which
question their own questioner.

needs to understand media law because new
technologies make it possible for individuals to reach
very large audiences.
• PEOPLE in haste to go ahead of competition or it was
just a mere desire to share the information without
validation become street journalist (citizen journalism).
• A PROFESSIONAL journalist has to i n v e s t i g a t e in
order for his facts to be valid.
