Summary/Abstract: The pluralism of online media outlets, as well as the objective of these outlets to be the first to inform on events, may possibly lead these outlets to disrespect professional ethics. This paper will discuss the theoretical and ethical aspects of online media, its regulatory framework and particular cases when the respect of ethical standards when reporting on issues of privacy was potentially violated. This paper uses the purposive sampling method and comparative methods. The paper will examine a case study (where the intimate images of a politician were published), and whether ethical standards were respected in that particular case.
