Mass-Mediated Communication
Competent communication in the media industry is often guided by an explicit code of ethics that governs how media industry professionals communicate and broadcast information. In the long run, this helps mitigate common ethical issues relating to credibility and authenticity, privacy interests, objectivity and impartiality, bias, and balance in the information conveyed. According to (Grad, 2015), among the key ethical issues relating to mass-mediated communications include the authenticity of information conveyed for consumption by the public. In this case, authenticity degrades as the public considers mediated communication superficial or impersonal, which can result in bias (Grad, 2015).
Other key ethical challenges relating to mass-mediated communication include racial and gender-based stereotypes, which often result in bias in the information conveyed and, to some extent, result in social disruptions. As the media industry continues to grow vastly, changes in the dynamics and composition of the workforce and media representation have resulted in the rise in demand for equal representation of marginalized groups, including women, the LGBTQ community, and persons with disabilities. This trend also posits the neutral presentation of mass media communications to promote impartiality, objectivity, and balance. Another ethical issue relates to the privacy paradox, given that mass media platforms are intended to share information. According to (Barrett-Maitland et al., 2020), privacy counters the mass media intention by avoiding information sharing, thus ethically restricting media professionals from non-consent-driven interviews to publishing embarrassing news.
