Online Journalism and the Challenge of Ethics in Nigeria
Journalism and Mass Communication, October 2016, Vol. 6, No. 10, 585-593 doi: 10.17265/2160-6579/2016.10.003 D DAVID PUBLISHING Online Journalism and the Challenge of Ethics in Nigeria Chike Walter Duru Justice For All/British Council, Abuja, Nigeria Online journalism has changed the face of journalism practice in Nigeria and the world at large. The Internet has virtually revolutionized the process of news and information gathering and dissemination. However, not abiding by the ethics of the profession has become its major burden, a situation that is blamed on certain identified factors. Presently, there is no clear distinction between the role of conventional journalism and citizen journalism. Conventional journalism, which is the mainstream profession of journalism, requires one form of training or the other, either through education or on the job training, for them to discharge their social responsibility role, unlike in the case of citizen journalism, which is presently usurping the role of conventional journalism. This development spells negative effects to the trend of journalism. No doubt, the Internet has removed the barriers of space and time on human interactions; hence, information can easily be obtained at a relatively low cost; but, the major challenges are those of ethics, professionalism, and training. These issues need to be addressed urgently before they set the country on fire. This article traces the background of the ethical challenge and examines its management, highlighting the steps that could be taken to tackle the menace. The reasons for the continued growth in audience of new news site are also explained. Keywords: online journalism, citizen journalism, conventional journalism, ethics, social responsibility Introduction The advent of online media across the globe is a historic revolution that has changed the fortunes of journalism practice and shaped the profession in a symbolic form. -

Evans Phidelis Aryabaha 6 June 2010, Beijing, China ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS With deep gratitude, I express my sincere appreciation to Ambassador Kishan S.

Amplified by modern media, most controversies revolved around China‟s political repression, epitomised by Tibet brutality. Resultant protests threatened boycott and terror, putting internal cohesion, national image and Olympic dream at stake. -
Bandurski (In Changing Media Changing China)
CHANGING MEDIA, CHANGING CHINA Edited by Susan L. Shirk OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS 20II But the implications of these changes have also, like Lord Ye's dragon, caused alarm and consternation among leaders who strongly believe that controlling the public agenda is critical to maintaining social stability and the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP's) hold on power. While actively encouraging the media to operate on market principles instead of relying on government subsidies, the CCP resists a redefinition of the role of media, which it still regards first and foremost as promoters of the party's agenda. 2 Since the fllassacre of demonstrators at Tiananmen Square in 1989, "guid ance of public opinion," the most common euphemism for agenda control, has been the centerpiece of propaganda work! Nevertheless, media com China's Emerging Public Sphere: mercialization, developing norms of journalistic professionalism, and the growth of new media are combining to erode the CCP's monopoly over the The Impact of Media public agenda and to open a limited public sphere. The resulting tension between control and commercialization has Commercialization, altered the relationship between the CCP and the media, prompting the CCP to adopt new control tactics to uphold its influence on news and pro Professionalism, and the Internet paga nda. Despite the fact that the CCP continues to punish editors who step over the line and the media remain formally a part of the party-state in an Era of Transition apparatus, China's leaders are beginning to treat the media and Internet as Qian Gang and David Bandurski rhe voice of the public and to respond to it accordingly. -
