O MEDIJSKOJ ETICI
AIDAN WHITE - Novinar, Direktor Mreže za Etičko Novinarstvo - EJN
(Engleski jezik)
1. What is ethical journalism and can journalism be unethical?
3. How do we define the line between public interest and the interest of media?
Example: making a sensational story, which might be true, that might open cases of corruption etc, but the story brings harm to people who are part of that story but who are not the perpetrators.

10. During the war times here in Sarajevo, we have seen some foreign journalists who worked for a major media house manipulating a scene in order to tell the truth.
It happened that in a short time they were here, there was no major shelling or bombing, so they threw some human sized dolls on the ground that they’ve prepared earlier, then poured some fake blood on them and did the report with these fake carcases in the background, as if a shelling just happened.
12. How do you define public interest vs. public needs vs. public desires?

13. The media is here to give information to people, but that's just one side of it.
The media also has to take responsibility and to help shape public opinion and to run public discourse, because if the media doesn't shape and change the tastes and opinion of the public, then it brings itself into a danger of always following only what people want.
In this light - What is the role of the media?
Can this be considered a responsible or ethical move?
In the first case you have the individual vs. community and in the second case is group vs. group.
