The speedy developments in online media, satellite TV and social media platforms have brought up significant ethical challenges around the world. The unprecedented widespread of the COVID19 pandemic have been turned into a global media event. The 24 hours rolling news coverage of this global phenomenon has also raised serious questions in relation to the politicization of how the media of each country represents the pandemic locally and beyond. The impact of social networks as tools for communication have further brought up concerns relating to fake news about how each country have been successful or not in fighting the disease.

This special issue of /JAMMR/ aims at enriching the debate on media ethics especially relating to fake news and the pandemic. We seek to critically address this growing area of enquiry and welcome contributions based on empirical studies or original theoretical approaches regarding (and not necessarily limited to) the following themes:

- Media representation of the COVID19 pandemic

- Serious journalism VS sensational reporting

- Cross-countries’ comparative approaches to news reporting

- Ethics and fake news in COVID19 reporting

- Media coverage of the pandemic as ideological manipulation

- Contested narratives: comparing global media’s case studies

- Challenges to journalism reporting in the pos-COVID19 world
