Abstract

One of the challenges for global media ethics is to define a theoretical perspective from which to adjudicate cross-cultural value conflicts. Early work in this field attempted to identify a universal norm from which the specific, applied norms of media professions and practices could be derived. However, postcolonial and pluralist critiques have revealed potential problems with this approach. To avoid such problems, neo-Aristotelian critiques have proposed focusing less on defining universal norms of obligated action and more on acknowledging local variations in conceptions of the good life. These critiques rightly stress the goal of understanding the diversity of ethical values both within and across cultures. However, when the goal of media ethics is to provide guidance for cooperative resolutions of value conflicts, the generalizability of norms remains an important issue. This article reframes this debate more as a division of labor than as a rivalry in approaches.

全球媒体伦理、美好生活和正义

全球媒体伦理面临的挑战之一是定义一个理论视角，从这个视角来判断跨文化价值冲突。这一领域的早期工作试图确定一种普遍规范，从中可以得出媒体职业和实践的具体适用规范。然而，后殖民主义和多元主义的批评揭示了这种方法的潜在问题。为了避免这些问题，新亚里士多德的批评建议少关注义务行为的普遍规范，多关注承认美好生活概念的局部差异。这些批评正确地强调了理解文化内部和文化之间道德价值观多样性的目标。然而，当媒体伦理的目标是为合作解决价值冲突提供指导时，规范的可推广性仍然是一个重要问题。这篇文章将这场辩论重新定义为一种分工，而不是一种方法上的竞争。
