Abstract

The progress of digital media is transforming the nature of Indonesian media, especially in journalism. The individual citizen can influence a lot, while the internet encourages new forms of media journalism that are more immediate and interactive. Journalists shared journalistic activities through social media or new kinds of media. The economics of journalism and the Citizen’s Media struggles as audiences migrate online. The shrinkage of newsrooms creates concern for the future of journalism and truth. The revolution requires us to re-think our assumptions. What can ethics mean for a profession that must provide instant news and analysis, where everyone with a modem is a publisher? The media revolution has created ethical tensions. If journalism and online media have a global impact, what are its global responsibilities? Should media ethics reformulate its aims and norms so as to guide the media and truth now that it has a global reach and impact? What would that look like?
