In our study, we focused on the issue of journalism ethics in light
of modern communication technologies, where we conducted a case
study on the journalist reporter for the "Numidia News" channel from
the state of Ghardaia, to know the extent of the Algerian reporter's
commitment to journalism ethics and the extent to which he employs
modern means of communication. The scientific represented by the
case study and the ethnographic approach belong to qualitative
research, and we have posted the following problem: What is the
extent of the reporter’s commitment in closed areas to the ethics of the
journalistic profession in light of the tyranny of using social
networking sites?
We aim through this study to shed light on the challenges faced
by the ethics of journalism in Algeria following the technological
development resulting from the emergence of the Internet and the
information dumping caused by what imposed a new environment on
the communicator and whether the reporter relies on it as a source of
information or not, we also aim through this The study analyzes the
stages that the media in Algeria has gone through in keeping pace with
the development in the field of journalism.
The most prominent findings of this study: the absence of actual
controls for Numedia News channel regarding the journalist’s use of
social networking sites, and that the editorial policies of the channels
are a factor in the journalist’s access to these sites due to the pressures
he is exposed to that limit his freedom, although these editorial
policies conflict with the media law, as well. We concluded that
technological development is not a reason for not adhering to
professional ethics as much as subjective and professional standards
are the main factor in the extent of the commitment of the person in
contact with these ethics.
