Summary/Abstract: The internet with its unlimited resources enabled journalists to gather information that are then used by traditional media. It is therefore worth elaborating on the ethical issues that are connected with it. Media ethics codes or professional rules of conduct were developed over the last decades in traditional media. The so-called New Media are nowadays facing these issues. The examples of activities such as thoughtless copying and sharing of content from the internet, or the lack of news verifi cation create ethical problems in connection to telling truth. These issues are not new since the offl ine media were struggling with them for decades. In the online platforms they gained a new context which requires a new approach and definition.
