Current media ethics theorizing remains preoccupied with building
competing normative philosophical frameworks, yet does not often
focus on the operation of human value systems, which arguably are
the engines that drive most ethical deliberations. Much media
ethics scholarship also lacks an empirical foundation. This study
draws from social-psychology research on value systems to construct
a profile of journalistic values using a modified version of the
Rokeach Value Survey. By examining the relationships between
journalists' value rankings, the journalistic roles they embrace
and how they rate different types of ethical questions in terms of
difficulty, this study suggests an avenue for more useful
theorizing about the process of journalistic ethical decision
making. A nationwide probability-sample survey of 600 U.S.
newspaper journalists shows relationships between individual
prioritized values and journalists' perceptions of the difficulty
of different types of ethical issues. A series of personal,
in-depth interviews with journalists also explores the ways in
which they perceive the role of personal values and how those
values manifest themselves in everyday decision-making.
