In South Africa, the debate about journalism ethics has taken
particular turns in recent years. Issues of transformation and race
have sparked heated debates in the profession, and there have been
calls for the ethical codes of journalistic practice to be
revisited, to bring them into line with the new South African
reality. This title grew out of these discussions. Among other
things, it attempts to measure the traditional standards of
journalism against the demands of a changing society. The title is
also intended to encourage journalists to take the time and trouble
to explore ethical decision-making as a professional skill that is
as important as any other. As the title suggests, the title
reflects an approach which is prepared to see beyond simple black
and white, and acknowledge shades of grey. Besides the discussion
of various areas of ethics, the chapters contain a set of case
studies drawn from real events. They also include talking points -
short contributions by some of the most prominent people in South
African journalism. They provide additional voices on the various
areas, offering a different perspective or sometimes discussing the
way an issue plays itself out in particular circumstances. The text
is intended to be as practical as possible. The author has
developed a tool to use when dealing with a particular dilemma -
called the ethics roadmap. There is also a set of discussions and
exercises that could be used in a classroom situation. Finally, a
selection of codes has also been included - chiefly the industry
codes used in print and broadcasting.
