Securing Credibility: Ethics in Modern Journalism

Description

Journalistic ethics begins with binding standards: industry codes, editorial codes of conduct, and legal frameworks such as personality protection form the foundation. Furthermore, experience-based practices shape daily professional life – source verification, informant protection, weighing public interest, or how to deal with suffering and misery, for example in wars or crises. Finally, individual questions arise: Where does reporting end, and activism begin? And is opinion journalism still journalism – or already propaganda?
