Title: | Changing views on media ethics and societal functions among students in Singapore | Authors: | Rosenthal, Sonny Detenber, Benjamin H. |
Keywords: | DRNTU::Social sciences::Journalism::Ethics and religion aspects | Issue Date: | 2014 | Source: | Detenber, B. H., & Rosenthal, S. (2014). Changing Views on Media Ethics and Societal Functions among Students in Singapore. Journal of Mass Media Ethics, 29(2), 108-125. | Series/Report no.: | Journal of mass media ethics | Abstract: | This panel study assessed changes in ethical ideology and beliefs about the societal function of media over the course of undergraduate communication education in Singapore. First, students’ agreement with the ethical principles of truth telling, independence, and accountability increased. Second, change in agreement with the ethical principle of minimizing harm was negatively related to change in justification of contentious newsgathering methods. Third, belief that the media should function as a watchdog increased and that it should serve national development decreased. Change in these variables was inversely correlated. We relate these findings to global contexts and make recommendations for curriculum development. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/104455 http://hdl.handle.net/10220/20165 |
