Some students think that getting technical skills is the most important factor to become a proffesional journalist. Nevertheless, ordinary people thinks that the greatest current problem of journalism is the lack of ethics. In fact, people usually don’t trust newspapapers, tv and radio channels or digital media very much nowadays. The reason for their disaffection is not based in journalists technical skills, but in their ethics, as well as in the sense of journalism for our society in these times. Thus, journalism ethics is not more a press organizations matter only, but it has become a social issue. However, journalists must be who assume the main responsability in upholding the ethical values and principles of a socially engaged communication. In order to this, it is necessary that students train in journalism ethics, which isn’t so much an inventory of moral conducts as a space for ethics thinking about journalism principal current problems.
As a consequence of all of this, the present subject is linked with the rest of courses which come under this degree. Focusing on the construction of the moral reality of journalism, this subject helps the students to understand critically their proffesional sphere, as well as to strengthen their commitment to the human rights ethical values, being therefore also related in a special and direct way with the subject ‘Theory of journalism and current world’.
