The Corporate and Securities Adviser, the Public Interest, and Professional Ethics

This paper discusses the inculcation of religious values in the mass media, so that the news is preaching and can be an intermediary to build a society that is in accordance with the guidance of Islamic law. With qualitative analysis, the results of this paper are elaborated in the form of a translation based on existing literature and data based on the Theoantropocentric Theory. Media actors as a profession have taken shortcuts by referring to the principle of benefits prioritizing the principle of benefits in their coverage and reporting, which is at the same time paradoxical to the professional ethics they carry. Compounded by the lack of respect for the principle of presumption of innocence in the name of the public interest in obtaining information, will increasingly make mass media and media actors as dominant individuals in reconstructing and manipulating social reality.

The Media

In this paper the authors use the comparative method to analyze differences and similarities between basic ethical principles of the Serbian Journalists’ Code of Ethics and the Code of Professional Ethics of the Serbian Public Relations Association. The authors examine whether the interests of PR and journalist professions have to conflict as is usually thought, or they can be both used as a means of informing the citizens, as Philip Patterson believes. In this paper, the theoretical perspectives of Denis Everett and John Merrill are also taken into account. They state that the media is guided by profit, while the public interest, true information and ethics are secondary.

The deepening social polarization and increasing state pressure in Turkey undermines the participation of journalists as the custodians of public interest in the public sphere based on the principle of common good. Using the data of my ethnographic fieldwork in newsrooms, I explore the features of legitimate journalistic activity without normative connection to the public. The Islamic-based ruling party (AKP) attempts to transform the public into its own intimate, family-like sphere. Journalists are compelled to either totally merge with the AKP-friendly family that dominates the public, or retreat to the privacy of the newsroom as an act of resistance and withdraw from contact with the ‘other’ journalistic community. Examining this “otherization” and isolation is crucial to understanding the ways in which the pursuit of professional ethics is replaced by self-centered norm-defining practices articulated in the rhetoric of intimacy rather than of the debate-oriented public sphere of journalists.

Human Good

Professional ethics refer to the rights and obligations of practitioners within any profession or sector. Engineering ethics can be discussed based on the nature of the engineer profession and its implications for professional morality. This paper takes the virtue ethics lens to discuss engineering ethics and argues that, since human and social good derives from professional virtues, protecting the public interest is a professional virtue of engineers. Further, since the protection of the public interest redounds to human and social good, then engineers are bound by the nature of their professional role to achieve these two interconnected aims, namely, protecting the public interest and promoting human good. The importance of virtues is eminent in the way an engineer improves her professional conduct and this has an impact on the social environment and on human good in general. Given an engineer’s concern with the broad public needs of people, the engineer’s function counts as a morally good role, and therefore can be described as one that can lead to human flourishing.
