In conclusion, as the media should be connecting sections of society as they investigate policies and developmental issues. As Slattery stated (2016), “professionalism is the way of being trustworthy, fair, and not hurtful and focus on the good of others, not themselves.”To keep a moral and ethical perspective a person should have the discipline of knowing what is right and wrong. As the media compete with their colleagues in the industry on being the first to have the information of an event, they still need to uphold moral values.
Furthermore, the media will continue for years to come, but viewers must also use ethical virtues when listening or watching the media. “Our personality traits, value systems, work environment, and levels of moral development and skills all collude to shape our motives and abilities for moral action.”
