This paper deals with mass communication cannot be separated from ethical problems. One of our goals in studying the science of communication lies in the dimension of ethical communication. Ethics can be defined as a set of moral principles or values. Ethical standards can differ from one discipline to another. In the discipline of communication, a set of communication ethics has been adopted into various communication contexts and communication fields, some of which we have understood together are business communication ethics, interpersonal communication ethics, and public relations ethics. Mass communication ethics is a moral philosophy that deals with the obligations of the press and about the judgments of the good press and the bad press or the right press and the wrong press. Each mass media has its own code of ethics because indeed each type of mass media has its own character or characteristics, so we know that in this world there are print media journalistic ethics, journalistic code of ethics, radio, and television journalistic code of ethics.

Mass communication can be best described by its counterparts. With regard to the number of people involved, mass communication has many participants, whereas interpersonal communication has few. With regard to visibility, mass communication is highly visible and public; private communication is hidden from others. Mass-communication messages are mostly provided by media professionals who collect, process, structure, and distribute information. It is a one-to-many communication with little feedback possibilities. In mass societies, mass communication is probably the most effective way of finding, discussing, and resolving issues that are relevant for the existence of a given society. Accordingly, research in mass communication is mainly concerned with its effects. Scholars have developed many theories—such as agenda setting—that are focusing on the beneficial and detrimental effects of the mass media. Many other topics are indirectly related to the effects of mass communication, such as freedom of the press, journalism, or media systems, but also entertainment. The internet and its diverse communication modes serve as a challenge to this role of mass communication. Mass communication is often framed within a normative point of view: Mass media, particularly radio, television, and other instances of audiovisual communication, enable a mass society to exchange views effectively on important problems and issues, thus helping democracies to come to the right decisions. In terms of usage, however, audiovisual mass media mostly carry entertainment content. Entertainment, however, might not be without political and societal consequences (e.g., cultivation theory). Although mass-communication content includes many genres and modalities and appears across all media, this entry focuses more on processes and intellectual arcs that transcend any single type of content.

Freedom of the press is one thing that is a journalist's right which is regulated in Law of the Republic of Indonesia No. 40 of 1999 concerning the Press to weigh the rights obtained by members to carry out their duties as a connector between the community and what is most recent done there. In carrying out their duties, journalists must still determine the rules that have been made, while the right to freedom of the press is given equality.

Since McCombs and Shaw first introduced the theory in 1972, agenda setting has emerged as one of the most influential perspectives in the study of the effects of mass media. Broadly defined, “agenda setting” refers to the ability of mass media sources to identify the most salient topics, thereby “setting the agendas” for audiences. In telling us what to think about, then, mass media sources are perceived to play an influential role in determining priorities related to policies, values, and knowledge on a given topic or issue. Scholars have studied this phenomenon according to both object (issue) salience and attribute salience and along aggregate and individual audience responses. The audience characteristics of need for orientation, uncertainty, relevance, and involvement are advanced as moderating and predicting agenda-setting effects. When agenda-setting theory is applied to the study of messaging related to health and risk communication, scholars have reviewed and identified common themes and topics that generally include media’s role in educating and informing the public about specific health conditions as well as public health priorities and administrative policies. Agenda setting is often examined in terms of measuring mass media effects on audiences. Looking at interpersonal communication, such as that coming from medical providers, opinion leaders, or peer networks, in studies will allow research to examine the combined effects of interpersonal and mass communication. Testing possible interactions among differing sources of information along with assessment of issue and attribute salience among audiences according to an agenda-setting framework serves to document audience trends and lived experiences with regard to mass media, health, and risk communication.

Introduction:Ethics is a set of moral principles that guide our behavior when it affects others. HTAi acknowledges the fundamental values of “service, collaboration, professionalism and integrity, transparency, accountability”. Ethical conduct balances self-interest with consequences of that behavior for others. Unethical behavior has serious personal consequences and in the case of HTA practitioners it can damage stakeholder trust and thereby hinder implementation of evidence by policy makers. Compliance with regulation alone may not suffice in building stakeholder confidence. There is need for individuals and agencies to develop a ‘culture of integrity’ at all levels in the HTA process above and beyond compliance with the law. A strong ethical culture will foster trust of stakeholders, strengthen collaboration, improve implementation of recommendations and benefit society. This is the importance of developing a code of ethics to guide conduct and detail standards of professional practice expected of HTA practitioners affiliated to HTAi and related agencies.Methods:I will argue for the development of a detailed code of ethics for HTAi and related agencies. To do this, I will explain how the code of ethics gives guidance and informs the users (HTA practitioners), and how they can guide stakeholders in the HTA processes. The public relations benefits of a code of ethics will also be discussed. I will explain why having a mere list of seven words as “values” is not sufficient guidance to professionals with diverse backgrounds who are collaborating in a multidisciplinary team.Results:The role of a code of ethics in helping professionals to choose their actions well is an effective way to integrate ethics in HTA, safeguard the integrity of HTA processes, and improve evidence implementation by stakeholders.Conclusions:HTAi should develop a detailed code of ethics for its membership.

Poor IYCF (Infant and Young Children Feeding) practices are factors of poor nutrition among infants and young children in developing countries including Bangladesh. To address this problem, a national mass media campaign was launched using television channels along with home counseling. The study was designed to explore the effect of IYCF intervention on changing knowledge and practices of mothers in rural Bangladesh. The study used a cluster randomized trial design where six unions were randomized to allocate them to 'only mass media intervention (intervention-I)' or 'mass media + direct counseling (Intervention-II)'. Three unions were subjected to 'intervention-I' and the other three were subjected to 'intervention-II'. In intervention-I areas, the knowledge of initiation of breast feeding was improved by 8.5% and practice was improved by 23.7%. It was 17.9% and 16.6% respectively in intervention-II areas. In intervention-I areas knowledge about initiation of complementary feeding improved by 2.7% and in practice it was 19.3%. In intervention-II areas it was 8.6% and 21.3% respectively. Regarding giving the right quantity of complementary food, in intervention-I areas the improvement rate was 6.2% for children between 7-8 months old and 34% for children between 9-12 months old. In intervention-II areas it was 13.7% for children between 7-8 months old and 56.8% for children between 9-12 months old. Significant improvements were found in both the intervention areas, but changes were almost similar in both groups. Coverage of interpersonal communication was found to be very low. Improvement of IYCF knowledge and practice might be the contribution of mass media.South East Asia Journal of Public Health Vol.5(1) 2015: 18-24

This paper presents the strengthening of public relations ethics through the reorientation of public relations in Islamic educational institutions, where public relations has an important role in managerial activities in Islamic educational institutions. In its implementation, the role of public relations in Islamic educational institutions is still underestimated and lacks the right portion in its application. PR is only understood as a complementary administration in practice, thus causing educational institutions unable to manage good relations with the surrounding community as partners. This study uses a qualitative approach to the type of library research, where researchers want to clearly describe the object of study to be studied. Analysis of the data uses content analysis. The results of the study indicate that the reorientation of public relations in Islamic educational institutions must be based on; First, qaulan sadidan, Islamic educational institutions must convey factual and reliable information; Second, qaulan baligha, Islamic educational institutions communicate effectively, communicatively and easily understood; Third, qaulan ma’rufa, the communication process should avoid words that can offend partners / customers; Fourth, qoulan karima, public relations activities must respect partners, listen to aspirations and promote ethics; Fifth, Qaulan Layyina, public relations must be a friendship and friendship dissertation; Sixth, qaulan maysura, Islamic educational institutions must convey information that is easily understood and digested by the communicant.

Political Economy Approach

In law and mass media studies, morals and ethics are linked to the obligations of journalists, such as; the implementation of journalistic code of ethics in every journalistic activity is subject to legal institutions and regulations to carry out with good etiquette as the provisions in the law, which are a set of principles and rules that have generally been accepted and approved by the public. In this regard, ethical principles for the journalistic profession provide a legal basis for managing news in the media in an orderly manner in the relationship between legal subjects. In developments in media institutions in Indonesia, the aspects of share ownership in the media (leadership), economics and media marketing will greatly determine the ideology that is promoted by the media, where this ideology, if it leads to a political economy approach, will create media actors who are less familiar with communication ethics. Communication ethics here are positioned as mere instruments and become less meaningful in determining program content, program quality and media actors' respect for human rights that are represented by individuals as sources of information. This choice raises communication ethics on media actors who are considered to have experienced a reduction. Media players as a profession have taken a shortcut by referring to the principle of benefit, prioritizing the principle of benefit in its coverage and news, which is also paradoxical with the professional ethics it carries. To make matters worse, the absence of respect for the presumption of innocence in the name of the public's interest in obtaining information will increasingly make the mass media and media actors as dominant persons in reconstructing and manipulating social reality. Up to this point, the choice of the tendency to interpret the political economy approach or the ethical approach, in fact both of them do not have obvious legal implications, all of them are returned to each individual who is involved in activities in mass media institutions.
