新闻职业伦理四大争议问题评析

Analysis on Four Controversial Issues in the Field of Journalistic Ethics

本文基于伦理和道德问题的分殊,重点探究当代新闻伦理四个基本问题。本文认为,在当今的全球化时代,许多社会基本问题充满了伦理争议,对于深刻影响社会的新闻传播职业来说,情况尤其是如此。如果说人们对于虚构造假、漠视生命等新闻职业道德问题通常可以明辨是非的话,那么新闻传播职业伦理问题则复杂得多,而且即便经过"百家争鸣"式的讨论,也难以求得一致意见。但是,我们通过这种以反思批判为特征的讨论,至少可以建立这样的共识:伦理思考和争论是一种极好的思维和表达训练,它对新闻从业者个人人格的完善、职业伦理以及公共伦理的养成和发展都是至关重要的。

Based on the differentiation between ethics and morals, this paper presents an analysis of four controversial issues of journalistic ethics. The paper points out that in a global time, there are many basic controversial issues of society, especially in terms of journalistic ethics which exerts profound influence on a mass society. If one can generally identify such moral problems as fabrication, make-up and ignorance of life in the presentation of news stories, there is a much more complicated situation in the field of journalistic ethics; and even if by way of repeated discussions, it is still difficult to make an agreement. But on the other hand, through this kind of discussion with the characteristics of critical thinking, at least such consensus can be made that ethical debates are excellent training of a journalist＇s thinking and expression, and they are vital to his/her improvement of personality and the cultivation of professional and public ethics.
