The speedy developments in online media, satellite TV and social media 
platforms have brought up significant ethical challenges around the 
world. The unprecedented widespread use of social networks as tools for 
communication and reporting news have also raised serious issues 
relating to the boundaries between free speech and social 
responsibility. Media coverage of crises, war and conflicts is a case in 
point.

This special issue of /JAMMR/ aims at enriching the debate on media 
ethics especially in relation the digital environment. It also aims to 
address media ethics from a global perspective and discuss how we can 
understand journalism practice in its cultural contexts. Are there ways 
to develop a common understanding of global ethics and how they should 
be perceived and implemented?

This special issue of JAMMR seeks to critically address this 
ever-growing area of enquiry and revisit the field from various 
theoretical and empirical multi-disciplinary dimensions. It welcomes 
contributions based on empirical studies or original theoretical 
approaches regarding (and not necessarily limited to) the following themes:

-Philosophical origins of ethics

-Media ethics between theory and practice

-Serious journalism VS sensational reporting

-Free speech VS social responsibility

-Cross-regional comparative approaches to media ethics

-Ethics and sports journalism

-Social responsibility mission of the media

-Ethics and fake news in journalism

-Ethics in reporting wars and crises

-Privacy and protection in the Big Data environment

-Contested narratives: comparing global media’s case studies

-Can the aim justify the means? Investigative journalism and the public 
interest

-Clash of values: study in the cartoon controversy

-Challenges to media ethics in transitional democracies
