Fever of online shopping.

Initially people in an around were not knowing what exactly the online shopping is but as the time passed the user of social media came to know about the benefits of online shopping but no one think that the unethical part of online shopping is trend. Today if we think ethically then the word have become so fast and are totally depended on technology and the people don’t have the time to spend on doing shopping by roaming here and there and what they feel is to fulfill by these brand new online shopping.

Humans are become lazy by their nature and such online stores make them more and more lazy. If we think with our mine open ten such online shopping are myth to the upcoming social life of an individual. There are so many online shops in the social networking sites which practices so many unethical programmers.

The best examples if an T-shirt Is damaged and having some patches of some other color on it then the one who is listing up that product will edit and the shopper unknowingly purchase it.

As doin all such activity are totally unethical practices and one more element which mostly online shoppers forget is all about the main element color which we see on the computer screen and the original of any product differs from each other on a great point Though there a new ethics applied for the social media but still there are so many unethical deeds followed by not only the online stores but by others too.

As Indian is a land of tradition and for us every small thing matters and we lok an except mostly everything which we feel is right. So Slowly and steadily all people have also added online shopping stores as a real open market where they can get each and every thing from pin to pent house. All these nature of people are unethically misuse by the online shops.

The best example which we can relate with is the new advertisement of OLX “BECH DO” if we use our brains to think upon it just an bhangar shop in which one can sell out there own product.

The one element which attracts the people is the manner of presentation of such advertisement.

Just look at the change in the mindset of the people. The people are following blindly the imaginary world of social online shop which can be a threat one or the other day.  

Facebook is Ethical or Unethical.

Macedonia'a Orthodox Church has ordered its priests and nuns not to use Facebook or be ready to face unnamed sanctions, church officials said."Everyone among the clergy will face sanctions if using Facebook," the church's spokesman, Bishop Timotej, told reporters yesterday.The bishop did not reveal the reasons for the ban, but sources from the church said the measure would be "imposed especially for those expressing personal attitudes on Facebook."Local media reported that the decision was proposed by one of the senior bishops, Petar, who defended the movesaying it was meant to "protect (the faithful) from misleading and manipulations."The ban seemed to show the rift between senior and junior priests, who have often used social networks to attract younger generations to the church by offering them religious education and advice.However, some of them also expressed their personal views on the political situation in the country, sometimes criticising the government.Although they are officially separated, the church has gradually increased its influence in state affairs since Macedonia proclaimed independence from the former Yugoslavia in 1991.The Macedonian Orthodox Church split from the  in 1967 and has not been recognised by other Orthodox churches.Most of Macedonia's Christians are Orthodox. They make up three-quarters of the country's population of 2.2 million.Ethnic Albanians who make up around one quarter of its population are mostly Muslim.

Media losing it’s identity ….

A century ago it was said that '' when the gun is facing , then remove the paper . '' But it never does not apply in today's media Pripercshy . With the arms of the media, the general public - as is becoming the tool of exploitation . She operator , with decisive - role as the villain is also thought to Nirwahn hence directly affecting human life . The actual aspect of today's media society on the ground stems gap between truth and ethics of the media can be seen clearly .

Publish and broadcast media in the name of morality and reality is the whole truth , morality , at this point Cihri always seem questionable . Some of it '' society - not - only takes a few hidden passages , the other things that highly colored is served in front of the society .

It would not be wrong to say that the media confronts his arms like octopus arm, neck Get him what happened so long . Could not walk out the front . '' This game works behind the marketplace and the power of capital . Most of the people in our society because the race is included . This race because the media has made us accustomed to the sensation . History , art , culture , politics , events, etc. sensational elements in the region are beginning to dominate . This sensational headlines are bombarded constantly on the minds of the public . The attack more - than - than are reported . '' But to explain these reports and the steady decline in the need to assimilate . '' Today, the media is not communicated to the public , but is also confusing . It works by making it relevant to irrelevant , is brilliantly with repetition and noise . ''

For this reason it became known that seemingly impossible mission or business journalism . This question is thinkable ? Since independence, the mission remains the journalism profession has now become pawns in the global market storm . The new tools of the market has put in question its morality .

Some of the positive and negative effects of News Media.

I have copy Pasted this blog because it is reliable to MEDIA ETHICS.

First came cable television. Then satellite. Soon online versions of newspapers augmented the news media scene. Now millions of bloggers, countless web sites, web broadcasts, and “podcasts” have become mainstream. All make up the “body” of today’s news media, and there is no visible end to this proliferation. The main ethical implications are threefold: increased competition has effected the quality of news reports, the public has heightened its demand for transparency, and the news world’s understanding of copyright has ceased to suffice.

News makers face increasing competition to cover all the pertinent stories and reach sources before their competitors. CNN and website news have resorted to wall-to-wall, 24 hour coverage to ensure that they can provide the story to their readers/viewers as soon as it occurs. The danger is that speed will prevail over accuracy, and journalists will exchange their ethical motives as fact-checking truth-seekers for the love of breaking a story -- any story.

However, an increase in competition also has led some news organizations to distinguish themselves from less responsible outlets by being more transparent about how they do their work. Journalists who want to set their articles apart as truthful and comprehensive have begun giving the public access to their sources. Studies are equipped with margins of error, assertions are backed by supporting web links, and anonymity granted to sources is thoroughly explained.

While some journalists turn to transparency to justify the claims in their reports, others have resorted to a much more careless form of writing, dubbed “journalism of assertion.” Many blogs and independent e-zines, lacking an en grained sense of duty to the truth or to readers, have developed a journalistic style of unsubstantiated opinion. Ideas are accrued and then restated, without regard to their origin or factuality.

The fact that information can be so easily accessed and then redistributed on the internet has lent itself to yet another trend: questioning the value of copyright. According to Piers Fawkes, co-creator of PSFK, a collaborative trend-reporting site, copyright has lost its value. “A blogger’s job is to spread ideas,” proclaims Fawkes. “They may be our ideas or the great ideas of others – but blogging gives an unparalleled way of passing those ideas on to others . . . the reason we write is not to control our ideas, not to look clever. We write to add our ideas to the global discussion.”

Changes in news media audiences
The proliferation of news outlets means that audiences can read and watch their news on various channels and web sites. In other words, media audiences have fragmented. No longer does an overwhelming majority of Canadians sit down in the evening to watch one or two major TV newscasts. People get their news updated throughout the day, when they want it. They surf the web to find the stories that interest them. Some describe these niche audiences as impatient, “remote control” audiences, who want the information they’re seeking without delay and without additional, unsought news.

In response, more and more news outlets cater to smaller and smaller demographics or “niches.” The risk is that journalists will no longer seek to provide the public with comprehensive accounts of the day’s top stories from many areas of life, but will focus narrowly on “niche news” that is of interest to narrow sectors of the population. An additional danger is that the public will no longer come together, through the news media, to deliberate over common issues. Instead, the public will fragment into many special-interest audiences.

Convergence of media
The fragmentation of the news audience has prompted some major news organizations to attempt to “re-assemble” a large news audience by providing news across many media platforms. Major organizations such as CNN in the United States and Can West in Canada seek to own and provide news via a convergence of their newspapers, television stations and web sites. Meanwhile, journalists are urged to embrace multi-media reporting -- the ability to report for print, broadcast and the internet.

Business Values
As newsrooms become small parts of large corporations, there is a danger that profit-seeking and economic imperatives may cause newsrooms to compromise their ethical standards. Business values, such as the need to meet the demand of investors and advertisers, may trump journalistic integrity. Since many news companies are publicly financed corporations, newsroom owners or their senior staff may feel the pressure of investor-friendly quarterly reports. Inside the newsrooms, journalists may find themselves in conflicts of interest -- reporting on economic and other issues that may have a direct affect on interests of their news corporation.
Some of the positive and negative effects:
Far-reaching change usually has positive and negative effects. The same is true of recent trends in journalism.

Some positive effects of change:
• Interactivity: Increased ability of the public to actively search for their own information and to interact online with news web sites
• Increased public access to different forms and types of media; access to a greater diversity of content
• Reduced “gatekeeping” powers of major news organizations; less power to set the news agenda or manipulate the public’s understanding of events
• New and powerful story-telling methods through multi-media technology
• Convergence in news may mean more resources to probe issues

Some negative effects of change:
• Rise in “journalism of assertion”: unsubstantiated opinion and rumor which harms journalistic credibility; lack of restraint among online writers
• Pressure to lower ethical standards and sensationalize stories
• Public complaints about how a “ubiquitous” media violate personal privacy

MEDIA as a MEDIATOR

Is Indian media ill-equipped, both morally and materially to deal with competition? Do we need to control the number of news outlets to control the quality of news?
For a hardcore libertarian, that is a difficult thought to deal with. Yet it has been building up for a year now. The last straw was the latest issue of Open magazine. Aarushi Talwar’s murder is the subject of an essay by author Patrick French. It is an intestine-curdling read.

In 2008, Aarushi, the daughter of a doctor couple, was murdered. The couple has been hounded — by both the authorities and the media — ever since. The essay is the stuff of middle class nightmares. It tells you the story of bad policing. It also shows the truly ugly face of Indian media.
In a country that has long prided itself on a free press and high journalistic standards, the complete lack of training and judgement from some of the top newspapers and television stations is startling. So, while media freedom has brought justice for Jessica Lall or Priyadarshini Mattoo, it has also ensured that the Talwars’ personal and professional life is more or less over.

Disclaimer: This is not just about the Aarushi case. But after years of defending the news media at every public forum and talking about how all the mistakes are about evolution, not intent, I am increasingly coming to the conclusion that maybe it isn’t so. My assumption was that the TV news industry is just about seven years old. Evolution will bring maturity and things will settle down. But to what? Ill-trained dolts passing judgements on issues they haven’t researched? Editors under perpetual pressure from owners?
Television news is a case in point. There are 115 news channels in India, the largest anywhere in the world. As competition increases, some amount of tabloidisation is normal, even good because it makes news more relevant. But competition has also stretched resources. There aren’t enough trained people to handle this growth — on the business or the content side.

The result is evident on air. If a reporter is the sort who cries loudly when someone dies, she assumes that a mother who is dry-eyed while talking about her murdered daughter is faking it. And she says that, on air, with a halo of moral superiority.

For long, media critics have blamed entertainment television of being regressive, but watch half an hour of Hindi news on some of the most popular channels to see truly regressive opinions being spouted freely on air. The whole context of right and wrong, on how women should behave or families should operate comes from an orthodox, regressive mindset. So a doctor couple that is friends with other couples is surely into “wife swapping”, and a teenage girl who has “sleepovers” is basically having it off with someone, by implication.
Most TV reporters are imposing their half-baked moral judgements on the audience because editors are allowing them to. Editors and publishers simply don’t have the time, energy or money, or all three, to take them through the ropes.

The result: In a market where the context of news was set by some really good brands, the drop in standards has been nauseatingly dizzy.

Most of it shows in the numbers. News viewership has actually fallen by one whole percentage point over the last two years, ad revenues are stagnant at about Rs 1,500 crore and some channels go for as little as Rs 300 per ten seconds. Margins are in a free fall because costs, especially those of distribution, have gone through the roof. You could argue that this shows a market ripe for consolidation. That, however, will not solve the problem of falling standards. So, a market solution is out for now.

On the policy front, three things could help. One, pushing digitisation so that pay revenues become a reality and channels can invest it in content. Two, tightening licensing norms, which is already happening. Three, making the content code applicable to anyone launching a channel, not mandatory currently.
These, however, will only facilitate a better news-gathering environment. A more practical solution, arguably, lies in setting a benchmark that is above the market — commercially and content-wise.

The BBC, a high-quality and popular news channel, is funded by the British taxpayer. As a result, it has pushed up standards of programming, forcing private stations to do the same if they want audiences.
Maybe it is time for Doordarshan (DD) to do the same thing. That can happen if it is given real autonomy but with all the taxpayer money and legislative support it already gets. If audiences flock to DD or any other good broadcaster which has the luxury of ignoring competitive pressures, private broadcasters too will up the ante on content quality. And those who can’t compete on it will move out.
Write to me if you can think of any other democratic solution.
