Abstract

This probe meditates on media laws and media ethics, asking how do they differ and how are they related? The intersections between social media and journalism are given context with sustained attention to the effect and interrelations between culture and technology. The probe suggests an ethicist, in applying moral consideration to the contemplation of remedies through ‘presearch’, is not only unconfined by the deliberation of tetrads, but must make them springboards to achieve perception of the right ends through interdisciplinary reasoning, trained observation of individual cases, and critical examination of generally accepted beliefs.
