Abstract

The chapter summarizes results from an empirical study that intends to shed light on current change processes in journalism ethics. Qualitative interviews with media practitioners and a document analysis of ethics codes and guidelines in ten European countries show that newsrooms are confronted with a broad spectrum of ethical issues that are seen as a direct result of the digitization of journalism. While many of them led to adaptations in the practices of media self-regulators across Europe, datafication and algorithm-driven newswork remain uncharted territory.
