Description
This article provides an international perspective on how new media technologies are shifting the parameters of debates about journalism ethics. It argues that new, mixed media help create an "open media ethics" and offers an exploration of how these developments encourage a transition from a closed professional ethics to an ethics that is the concern of all citizens. The relation between an open media ethics and the idea of a global fifth estate, facilitated by global online media, is explored. The article concludes by providing suggestions for key normative conditions that could guide media ethics in this new media world. Copyright © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
