THE EHICS OF FINANCIAL JOURNALISM. A CRITICAL PERSPECTIVE

Summary/Abstract: Media ethics represents one of the most important debate and research fields. Media theorists, academics, moral philosophers or public intellectuals are interested in discussing very controversial aspects regarding the professional status of journalism, the core values that should guide an honest journalistic investigation, the criteria that a journalistic product must meet in order to be published, the gap between seeking the profit and informing the public, and so on. The media are omnipresent in our life and their way of functioning is an ongoing subject of debate. My article concerns a specific form of journalism, the financial journalism. Since the 2008 economic crisis this type of journalism is under serious scrutiny and it is my intention to outline some of the key ethical aspects specific for this particular kind of journalism.
