Welcome to the Media Ethics in the Digital Age course.
You will agree with me that it is an exciting time to be pursuing your Masters degree. This is because Technology, Social Media et al have changed the way we do things, the way we do journalism, and even our daily lives have been totally submerged in tech stuff, besides other things competing for our attention....
That is why it is important to know how to do stuff the right way.
This course therefore builds on the ethical approaches that are introduced in most undergraduate journalism and media studies courses. Its aim is to broaden students’ knowledge of issues surrounding the new media. The issues discussed include the proliferation of information and misinformation on the Internet, the rise of citizen journalism, and the difficulties regarding the verification of online information.
