Building a Coordinate System: An Ethical Framework for Analyzing Media Coverage of Disasters
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ethical decision making is increasingly emphasized in daily media practice. The pervasive reportage of disaster is a ready context to analyze journalistic ethical orientations. This study examines several classic approaches and their applications in covering disaster, in order to develop a comprehensive ethical framework (an ethical coordinate) for researchers to examine journalistic ethical orientations in disaster coverage. The coordinate is tested in the analysis of cases of disaster coverage reported in previous studies. Examination of journalistic ethics in a broader context can also use this ethical analysis framework.
