{"title":"Ethics of Authenticity: Social Media Influencers and the Production of Sponsored Content","authors":"Mariah L. Wellman, Ryan Stoldt, M. Tully, Brian Ekdale","doi":"10.1080/23736992.2020.1736078","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/23736992.2020.1736078","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT Media coverage of influencer marketing abounds with ethical questions about this emerging industry. Much of this coverage assumes influencers operate without an ethical framework and many social media personalities skirt around the edges of legal guidelines. Our study starts from the premise that influencer marketing is not inherently unethical but, rather, the ethical principles guiding production of sponsored content are not well understood. Through a case study of the travel and tourism media industry, our findings demonstrate that influencers use the concept of authenticity as an ethical framework when producing sponsored content. This ethics of authenticity is premised on two central tenets: being true to one’s self and brand and being true to one’s audience. This framework puts the influencers’ brand identity and relationship with their audience at the forefront while simultaneously allowing them to profit from content designed to benefit brands and destinations.","PeriodicalId":45979,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Media Ethics","volume":"9 2","pages":"68 - 82"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2020-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/23736992.2020.1736078","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72466969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Refusing the idea that it is simply a term of art for statutory control, I argue that statutory underpinning enables a strong articulation of the accountability relationship between the press and the public. The article discusses the concept and its operation in the Leveson Report. I then explore the uniqueness of the term on three levels: that of the technical specificity of the recognition criteria; the underpinning of the independence of the press; and finally the articulation of an accountability relationship. I turn to the work of philosopher Onora O’Neill to provide philosophical context on how underpinning offers a significant pathway to media accountability.","PeriodicalId":45979,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Media Ethics","volume":"1 1","pages":"83 - 95"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2020-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87654864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

How can we ethically justify the importance of the digital commons? An answer is given based on Aristotelian ethics. Because Alasdair MacIntyre is the most influential Aristotelian moral philosopher today, the paper engages with foundations of MacIntyre’s works and gives special attention to his concept of the common good and his analysis of how structures of domination damage the common good. It is argued that for advancing a philosophy of the (digital) commons, MacIntyre’s early and later works, in which he has been influenced by Karl Marx, are of particular importance. The approach taken in this paper combines Aristotle, Marx, and MacIntyre.","PeriodicalId":45979,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Media Ethics","volume":"84 1","pages":"112 - 126"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2020-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73128697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Special call from the Journal of Media Ethics: Media Ethics and Impermanence/Permanence","authors":"P. Plaisance","doi":"10.1080/23736992.2020.1703524","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/23736992.2020.1703524","url":null,"abstract":"Alvin Toffler wrote more than 50 years ago that modern civilizations, as they acquired more knowledge and technology, were exhibiting increased impermanence. The rates of change throughout modern societies were exponential, becoming more pronounced and occurring within shorter intervals, he said, with such impermanence “leading to less time for extended peaceful attention to one problem or situation at a time.” However, Toffler did not anticipate countervailing trends that point to different forms of emerging permanence. For example, individuals’ online profiles can continue well past their deaths, and mechanized and automated ways of creating products are increasingly intensifying. As these dynamics exhibit themselves today – particularly manifested in humankind’s struggle to attend to cultural disruptions, socio-economic upheaval, and increased exposures to risk and crises – how is media ethical theory and practice best situated to rise to the challenge? For example, how does message production, audience consumption of mediate messages, and media professional practice point to questions about constructive and beneficent ways to address this duality? Additionally, how are shifting applied and theoretical understandings of “media” interacting with (and within) the impermanence/permanence continuum? That is, while ethics can serve as an enduring foundation for sound decisions that, for example, reflect a respect for autonomy, duty, and virtue, how do purveyors of media translate their activities in such a way that ethically ameliorates the fractured nature of the impermanence/permanence dynamic and, in the process, help society move toward more just decisions? A special issue of the Journal of Media Ethics is planned to showcase scholarship regarding this subject from diverse perspectives focused on news, public relations, marketing, advertising, or new media (e.g., social media, gaming, etc.) use. Efforts to explore related issues of digital presence, identity, and community formation also are of interest. Both empirical studies and philosophical explications that explore media ethics questions from scientific and humanities traditions are encouraged. Also encouraged are examinations of both historical and contemporary aspects and essays that explore broader theoretical constructs of the role of ethics in the face of broader impermanence/permanence dynamics. Polemical essays are discouraged. Case studies are welcome if they provide relevance beyond local or national boundaries. Manuscripts should be submitted by September 30, 2020, for consideration.

This research uses in-depth interviews with photojournalists to explore the decision-making process and ethical considerations involved in capturing and publishing such images. Research found participants justify taking and publishing graphic images as a way to empower subjects, while also informing audiences. Research also found participants emphasize an ethic of care and focus on subjects when taking pictures – demonstrating less concern with upsetting audiences, and more concern with caring for subjects and informing the public. Ultimately, researchers uncovered a three-tier ethic of care approach to capturing and publishing graphic images.","PeriodicalId":45979,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Media Ethics","volume":"119 1","pages":"17 - 30"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86803061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
