This thesis examines the major ethical issues experienced by UK sports journalists in the course of their practice in the modern digital media landscape, with a particular focus on selfcensorship. In tandem, it captures the lived professional experience of sports journalists in the digital era. My own professional experience is considered alongside the experiences of interviewees and diary-keepers. Initially, an exploratory case study of the work of investigative journalist David Walsh is used to highlight key ethical issues affecting sports journalism. A Kantian deontological theoretical perspective is articulated and developed. Qualitative approaches, specifically Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis and autoethnography, are then used to provide an original analysis of the research objectives, enhanced by philosophical analysis. Ten in-depth, semi-structured interviews are conducted with a homogeneous sample of UK sports journalists, while diaries kept by three different journalists provide another seam of data. Reflective logs of my own work as a sports journalist provide the basis for autoethnographic data. The main log runs for two-and-half years (2016- 19) with a separate additional log covering the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan. The semistructured interviews, diaries, autoethnography and case study are synthesized. The thesis explores how social media has introduced a host of ethical issues for sports journalists, not least the handling of abuse directed at them. Social media emerges as a double-edged sword. One of its most positive functions is to raise the standard of some journalists’ output due to the greater scrutiny that reporters feel they are under in the digital era, but at its worst it can be a platform for grotesque distortion and for corrupting sports journalists’ decision-making processes. Self-censorship of both facts and opinions emerges as a pervasive factor in sports journalism, a phenomenon that has been intensified by the advent of social media. Sports journalists show low engagement with codes of conduct, with the research suggesting that participants are on occasion more readily influenced by self-policing dynamics. This project captures vividly sports journalists’ personal involvement and emotional investment in their work, and reconsiders the ‘toy department’-versus-watchdog classification of sports journalists. The thesis concludes with recommendations for industry, including the introduction of formal support for sports journalists affected by online abuse.

This chapter documents the role played by culture centres and houses in the acquisition, preservation and dissemination of indigenous knowledge (IK) in a digital era in Zimbabwe. It states the ethical issues involved when acquiring, preserving and disseminating IK in the digital era. A history of culture houses and centres was studied and a literature review of the role of culture centres was done. In Zimbabwe, it was noted that culture houses and centres do not have a web presence. However, there are challenges that are met by information specialists working in these culture houses and centres in the process of managing IK. These challenges are part of the ethical issues that should be considered in the production, access and use of IK. Recommendations have been put forward that would help culture houses and centres in their bid to manage IK in the digital era.

Challenges And Opportunities

The paper aims to point out current challenges and opportunities in extended reality (XR) technologies that cover augmented, mixed and virtual reality (AR, MR, VR) within the frame of creative and related industries and current technological progress particularly based on the results of primary research. While the XR technologies struggle with limitations of the proper research on one side, multiple research projects including this one, have shown significant acceptance and potential of the XR technologies, especially in the ongoing digital era accelerated by the COVID-19 situation. The research presented in this paper was held with the small groups of artists in France who had opportunity to test the augmented reality mobile application on artworks from various artists. This and other cited research projects show that the acceptance rate of the XR technologies by the informed audience strongly predominates over its penetration in such population which can be interpreted as significant market opportunity. This milieu has strong impact on the democratization of the XR industry in the recent years with substantial investments by business sector. Meanwhile these technologies have become powerful enough to raise serious concern of their impact on ethical issues, social distancing and other related topics.

Information And Communication

The ability to use and develop certain periods of societal skills of using and developing information and communication technologies greatly influences the fate and uses of these technologies in the economic, political, social and cultural spheres of society in the developmental and democratic indices of the world. Today, institutions need important information and data to maintain an efficient and productive life. Likewise, digitalization of information and data reveals new management understandings. Organizations are changing organizational structures and using hierarchical structures more flexibly and more efficiently. However, the benefits of progressively non-confidentiality of data and information are increasing in different fields, of which many social and cultural cataclysms can also follow. In particular, inequality in society is caused by the mutilation of privacy and trust In the Digital era, virtual action loses value and raises ethical issues. The inability to develop appropriate ethical principles for the virtual society deepens the effect of these problems on society. In this study, ethical perspectives of public administration in the Digital age are positively or negatively related to the situation.

The Brain

In recent years, rapid technological developments in the field of neuroimaging have provided several new methods for revealing thoughts, actions and intentions based solely on the pattern of activity that is observed in the brain. In specialized centres, these methods are now being employed routinely to assess residual cognition, detect consciousness and even communicate with some behaviorally non-responsive patients who clinically appear to be comatose or in a vegetative state. In this article, we consider some of the ethical issues raised by these developments and the profound implications they have for clinical care, diagnosis, prognosis and medical-legal decision-making after severe brain injury.
