PART A
MEDIA ETHICS
Dear Student
1 INTRODUCTION
We hope you have enjoyed your studies in Media Ethics thus far and that you are trying to keep
up to date with ethical issues in the media! It is much easier to understand theoretical issues if
you apply them to current real-life situations. Remember that we are here to assist you; so,
please do not hesitate to contact us if you feel unsure about anything.
The comments provided in this tutorial letter are important and will assist you in understanding
the work better. Also, they will help you in preparing for the examination. If you look at the
contents page (on p2), you will see that this tutorial letter contains feedback on Assignment 01
and 02, examination preparation guidelines and some other general comments.
Also, although we think most of you know it by now, please take note that the 2 nd edition of
Oosthuizen’s book differs slightly from the 1 st edition. It will, however, have no impact on your
studies. The work that you must know for the examination is still covered in the prescribed book
and study guide.

Question 1
A journalist that decides not to reveal too much detail about the extra-marital affair of a
government minister in a story he/she writes, will be adhering to the ideas of … .
(1) Aristotle
(2) Kant
(3) Mill
(4) Ross
The correct option is Aristotle as he will be following the Golden Mean. He will therefore not
reveal all the sordid detail, but he will mention the most necessary facts about the minister’s
affair.
