The second edition of Media Ethics in the South African context explores the dynamic and potentially explosive field of media ethics from a South African perspective. Grounded in ethical theory, the public philosophies of communication and media performance norms, this text provides guidelines for the individual's ethical decision making; for both media practitioners and media groups. Cutting edge analysis of the South African normative context under the previous and present political dispensations makes this book essential reading for media policy formulators and students alike. Changes in the normative context are presenting the South African news media in particular, with new challenges.

There are over 30 national codes of ethics for journalism in force in Europe at the moment. The number of codes is greater than that of press councils — there are at present 20 functioning councils in Europe. Most of the codes have been established by the journalists' associations, and revised during the 1990s. Several completely new codes have been recently created in the new Central and Eastern European democracies. This article reports on a study of 31 codes (representing 29 countries). The most common functions of the European codes is to show accountability to the public and the sources, and to protect the professional integrity of journalists from external interference. On a general level the codes are similar — 13 main themes are present in almost all of them. On the level of individual principles there are, however, several differences. Among 61 ethical principles compared, only 24 are present in more than half of the codes. The most common principles stress the truthfulness of information, the prohibition of discrimination on the basis of race, sex, etc., fair means in gathering the information, integrity of the source and the journalist, and freedom of expression and comment. The differences and similarities between the national codes do not seem to follow any geographical, lingual or other traditional dividing lines.

The landscape in which journalists now work is substantially different to that of the twentieth century. The rise of digital and social media necessitates a new way of considering the ethical questions facing practicing journalists. This volume considers the various individual, cultural and institutional influences that have an impact on journalistic ethics today. It also examines the links between ethics and professionalism, the organizational promotion of ethical values and the tensions between ethics, freedom of information and speech, and the need to disseminate information. By comparing the theoretical underpinnings of journalistic ethics with a variety of international case studies, this volume provides a comparative global analysis of the ethical challenges faced by the media in the twenty-first century. It will be essential reading for students of journalism and practicing journalists

Es gibt zur Zeit mehr als dreißig nationale journalistische Moralcodices in Europa. Diese Zahl ist größer als die der Presseräte; es gibt gegenwärtig zwanzig funktionale Presseräte in Europa. Die meisten der Codices sind von Journalistenverbänden in Kraft gesetzt und in den 90er Jahren überarbeitet worden. In den neuen mittel- und osteuropaäischen Demokratien hat man erst kürzlich in mehreren Fällen völlig neue Regelungen kodifiziert. Der Beitrag referiert die Ergebnisse einer Studie über 31 Kodes aus 29 Ländern. Die den meisten europäischen Codices gemeinsamen Bestimmung befassen sich damit, wie man Verantwortung sowohl der Öffentlichkeit als auch seinen Quellen gegenüber zeigt und wie die berufliche Integrität von Journalisten vor äußeren Eingriffen geschützt werden kann. Im allgemeinen ähneln sich alle Codices; 13 Hauptthemen kommen in fast allen vor. Wenn man von einzelnen Prinzipien ausgeht, dann ergeben sich aber eine Anzahl von Unterschieden. Es wurden 61 ethische Prinzipien verglichen; von denen tauchen nur 24 in mehr als der Hälfte der Codices auf. Die am häufigsten aufgenommenen Prinzipien betonen die Bedeutung der Genauigkeit von Information, des Verbots der Diskriminierung von Rasse, Geschlecht etc., der Anwendung fairer Methoden beim Sammeln von Nachrichten, der Integrität des Journalisten und seiner Quelle und der Meinungsäußerungsfreiheit. Die Unterschiede und Ähnlichkeiten der einzelnen nationalen Codices scheinen sich weder an geographischen noch sprachlichen noch anderen traditionellen Trennungslinien zu orientieren. (UNübers.)
