Stephen J.A. Ward says “the tweaking of ideas and re-formulation of rules” in media ethics is a temporary fix to a bigger problem that requires rethinking media ethics. Ward proposes that new thinking needs to be developed in areas including the ethics of non-traditional news outlets, interpretation and opinion, and activist journalism. Ward writes: “When the winds of change blow, fundamental thinking is needed to overcome old beliefs … In media ethics, the old ideas of news objectivity as just the facts, balance as always giving equal space to all sides, and impartiality as emotional detachment, are dead dogma.”
