Consequently, it become easy to Post misinformation, rumors and broadcast it widely around the world. So, the media including the discussions in social media became a big impact on individuals, people and public opinion.

Introduction:

As we can note how the media developed in the last years and how it is an important to side in most of life's aspects. Nowadays we can realize the importance of media in the Coronavirus crisis and how people spend their time knowing recent news about this crisis.

The ethics’ challenges:

Media ethics face a lot of challenges especially in crisis times, as we can see it in the Coronavirus crisis. One of the most challenges faces by the media nowadays is the credibility of some information related to the pandemic like the numbers of injuries and deaths and some individual's private information.

I think some channels and newspapers follow policies of a particular country or organization are obliged to hide some information and some information related to important people who can affect public opinion so they prefer to hide this privet information to reduce the anxiety or to achieve a specific goal.

In addition, the financial rewards became more in this period for the Journalist or even the normal people who will write the stronger or newest information even this news is not correct or rumors just to attract and persuade people. I think it will happen more if the journalist or people don’t realize the importance of ethics.

Moreover, governmental oversight crosses a lot of news types, so people will always try to use some blocked information because they think it is worth being published.

In my view, some people think that the ethics make the news boring and repeated. As a result, they always want new information.

The reality, as this period how each media ( BBC, CNN, RT…) present the facts of Coronavirus and how they present the main reason for the source of this virus and how the war between America and China.

I think according to the huge numbers of news every day the audience doesn't know who is right and what is the reality, even the science researches showed facts. because of the words and questions, they used.

Understanding:

- I think some ethics need to be changed to be suitable for the development of media.

- As we are media students, we should know more these media ethics. Even the normal people should know and realize the importance of ethics to know their limits when they want to share any news especially in the social media.

Media ethics challenges

The changes happening with media:

Day after day, the media changes according to the changing circumstances of the world. Media today is not the media of twenty years ago because of the emergence of new media technologies and the entry of new media. The media changed, accompanied by the emergence of the citizen journalist, who became the biggest challenge to the ethics of media through his ability to communicate on all media platforms.

The situation has become inconceivable how information can be transmitted from one country to another and very quickly through the media, and we cannot understand the extent of the harm of this information, for example, if it was misinformation. The media has become discredited on some platforms and lack clarity and transparency in most platforms, and the media has been used to spread hate speech as it is now when the global media attacks the Chinese.

The ethical challenges media:

-The Corona crisis created many challenges for media ethics because of the flow of information, which contributed to the spread of rumors, disinformation, misinformation and propaganda.

-In the countries of the Middle East, they lack freedom of expression, or in other words, the media regulations are getting tougher.

-The policy of some countries that prevent some important information from reaching the media, for example, concerning the numbers of casualties and the number of deaths for political purposes.

-The world became thirsty for news due to the Corona crisis, so most media outlets compete to provide news and information in order to obtain audiences or opinions and some resort to distorting the facts, and publish it before the official media publishes it.

-As I said earlier, people are thirsty for news of the Corona crisis, but after this crisis ends, what will happen? Interest in the media will decrease, so this is one of the challenges that shows that the audience's period of interest in the media is very short just to satisfy their desires.

Understanding:

As we try to preserve media ethics, there will be challenges that prevent this from happening.
