Preliminary Observations on the Romanian and French Media Ethics Codes

This chapter develops one of the key arguments of the book, namely that an ethical course of action for the media in contexts of conflict can only be properly charted if it is done collaboratively between media producers and media users. It is argued that understanding the ethics of conflict mediatization only in terms of professional codes is not imaginative or flexible enough to understand the media’s responsibilities and obligations to societies where there are wide disparities in media access, low levels of trust in media, and a history of state control of information. For media to engage ethically with democratization conflicts in these contexts, it is argued, it needs to conceive of ethics in ways that involve citizens more broadly and cut across social divides. This chapter examines the question of the relationship between media ethics, codes, and accountability to society in the light of these contextual challenges.

Social media is a valuable tool in the practice of medicine, but it can also be an area of ‘treacherous waters’ for medical students. Those in their upper years of study are off-site and scattered broadly, undertaking clinical rotations; thus, in-house (university lecture) sessions are impractical. Nonetheless, during these clinical years students are generally high users of social media technology, putting them at risk of harm if they lack appropriate ethical awareness. We created a compulsory session in social media ethics (Doctoring and Social Media) offered in two online modes (narrated PowerPoint file or YouTube video) to fourth- and fifth-year undergraduate medical students. The novelty of our work was the use of SurveyMonkey® to deliver the file links, as well as to take attendance and deliver a post-session performance assessment. All 167 students completed the course and provided feedback. Overall, 73% Agreed or Strongly Agreed the course session would aid their professionalism skills and behaviours, and 95% supported delivery of the curriculum online. The most frequent areas of learning occurred in the following topics: email correspondence with patients, medical photography, and awareness of medical apps. SurveyMonkey® is a valuable and efficient tool for curriculum delivery, attendance taking, and assessment activities.
