Aiming to unearth the Turkish Sports Media’s understanding of morals and ethics, this study was developed by way of compilation. It aims to explain such relevant topics as morals, ethics, relation between morals and ethics, relation between ethics and philosophy, sports ethics, ethics of the sports media, and to infer a conclusion from those explanations. Sports ethics refer to manners, actions and behaviors performed by sportspeople or people involved in sports and accepted in general by the stakeholders. Sports media provides the public with news about sports through the Press and other communication means, and should aim to popularize the sports, ensure more people to be interested in sports, and promote the sports to the masses. In doing this, it is expected to respect both the sports ethics and Media ethics. However, it is observed that the facts that communication technologies spread fast, access to news and information get easier, the Media grows and expands, and new Media means are introduced cause the sports media to develop a number of unethical notions. It was concluded that the root reason of this tendency is the Media’s aim to be more influential for the public and to access more people by means of various communication means in order to increase its income. In the light of these findings, this study emphasizes that it is important for the sports media to adopt and respect the applicable ethical principles and to act in accordance with them.

Every occupation desire recognition as a profession for a variety of reasons, sport management inclusive for example Law, medicine and Engineering are professions that traditionally carry with them prestige, respect and autonomy. Ethical code of conduct are meant to address a variety of ethical issues of the profession such as level of knowledge and skills; licensing; maintenance of discipline within the profession, establishment and registration of persons entitle to practice. It is with this in mind that the paper explored professional society, ethical issues, ethical code of conduct as moral and social obligation. The paper provides the foundation for a rational application of the principles of ethics to the ethical problems that confront the sport management profession in Nigeria. Many would suggest that the present ethical environment in sport management profession is in an abysmal state as the field does not have a recognize body (Association/Society) the like of NASSM SMAANZ, EASM, ALGEDE and AASM. There is the need for the setting up of sport management professional association to be called Nigerian Sport Management Association (NISMA) as currently there is no such association in existence. When established, the association should have a professional creed for consideration of its members and this will require cooperation with a wide range of other professional bodies in the field, such as NAPHER-SD, NASSM, NSHA and other closely related occupational and professional group; these is because developing a code of ethic for sport managers is problematical undertaking. The breadth of the field makes it very difficult to create a code that has encompassing relevance.

Doubtless some will continue to argue the internet’s lack of regulation is its greatest asset. But we would do well to heed Cohen-Almagor’s warning to weigh freedom of expression against social responsibility. In all areas of human life and endeavour, we accept boundaries that allow our societies to function. Such regulation helps define who we are and where we want to go. Dignity, moral worth and an imperative to ‘do no harm’ are our companions in the real world. Why not on the internet?

Re-Thinking Peace Journalism Theory with Feminist News Criticism and Ethics2019 •
This article aims to contribute to the efforts of bridging yet not filled gap between feminist philosophy, news criticism and peace journalism (PJ). It claims of expanding PJ theory by means of a feminist approach that is based on a critique of conventional journalism. It argues that phallogocentric discursive structuration and the hegemanic binary episteme of journalism on which the abc of journalism is built, turns the news into a masculine form, as well as conventional journalism into war journalism (WJ). Article elaborate its arguments through a deconstructive reading of selected news outlets of the Turkish media with a focus on stereotypical discursive reconstruction of the otherized woman and the womanized other. In the end, it claims a feminist epistemology and ethics for grounding the peace journalism theory and practice.

Tales of unethical reporting, conflict of interest, biases, and corruption characterize media practice in Zambia today. The advent of technology and the mushrooming of media houses have ironically magnified this trend. Such tendencies have compromised ethical reporting, thus undermining journalistic credibility. While some scholars call for a return to African ethics, others hanker for greater professionalism. This study offers an overview of the media in Zambia with Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation and The POST Newspaper as its case study. The study looks at how virtue ethics would be effective in reclaiming media credibility. Using qualitative methods, data were collected via theoretical and methodological triangulation. Open-ended questions were designed and distributed among 10 Zambian journalists. The interviews were conducted within a period of one month. Findings indicated that media credibility in Zambia has reached unprecedented levels of suspicion and that virtue ethics, if well applied, would redeem the lost credibility.
