Theoretical building blocks of Communication Ethics

In this section, we discuss several ethical theories and perspectives, such as Consequentialism and Utilitarianism. These theories serve as building blocks for the rest of the course: when you understand the most important aspects of each perspective, you are able to use the various perspectives to consider ethical dilemmas from different angles.

Welcome to the course Media Ethics and Governance offered

by the Department of Communication Science of the University of Amsterdam.

In this course, we'll talk about right and wrong in a world of media.

And of course, it's not our place as scholars to impose our own moral judgment on you.

Instead, we'll cover the development of ideas or media ethics.

We'll discuss influential ethical theories and perspectives,

explore changing society demands and expectations of media behavior,

and to elaborates on existing ethical norms for media professionals.

After following this course,

you'll be able to reflect on ethical dilemmas and

develop a well-substantiated argumentation.

Our institute, which is one of the foremost in the world,

sets out to study and teach the principles of mediated communication.

Mediated communication takes place in an constantly changing environment.

As you might imagine, this means that media professionals are

confronted with smaller and larger ethical dilemmas on a daily basis.

It is very common that different people have

completely different ethical ideals and may come to different moral judgments.

To offer you some never see,

at least of perspectives,

this course is stalled by five lectures.

Each with our own scientific background.

Obviously, this is by no means guarantees an objective overview of this topic.

We actually believe it's impossible to be truly objective

about such a personal topic as ethics.

The only thing we can strive for is honest subjectivity.

Therefore, you can find more information about us,

our backgrounds, and our personalities on a new platform

We've roughly divided the course into three parts.

The first part of the course covers important theories,

definitions, and concepts from the field of Media Ethics.

In the second part of the course,

we'll talk about media governance,

the rules and regulations to enforce these societal expectations of media behavior.

In the third part, we're focus on ethical dilemmas for communication professionals.

Finally, in this course,

we are not the only experts because you already have a built in ethical compass.

You don't need us to tell you the outcome of your own ethical thinking.

We can merely provide you a theoretical framework,

but also this will certainly not be complete.

After all, scholars have been studying,

teaching, and argue in ethics for more than two millennia.

So, feel free to contribute to the course.

Add your voice and help us make it better by adding

your own arguments and send us any interesting links to research articles,

books, or other scientific contents you would like to see incorporated in the course.
