(Part III)
When we speak of rights that an individual has authority to act in a certain way against the obligation of others to act in certain ways for us or anyone else in particular. Against the State are "right holders", ie the state becomes the agent and of course willing to meet our rights enshrined in the Constitution, many of which there are built-in recognition of the embodied in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of the United Nations.
If we agree with a view of ethics understood as the art of living well, and this means recognizing the right to coexist on the other, we then agree that the rights of individuals must be a primary concern of those more knowledgeable about the issues of daily life have, and are, being closely linked to it by virtue of their profession, journalists, who 'in solidum 'move that responsibility to the media for which they work, being then as a consequence, the media, the sources of knowledge emanating from the rights and duties of the company.
The media today have an extraordinary technological power that allows them to reach the site at the time of the incident and make it available to the audience almost instantaneously, and sometimes the same technology allows them to reach even to the most hidden and concealed, so it is not uncommon that at times can make public what is often private meeting in the field separated by a thin line to cross it, turn right to intimacy and self-image (read dignity) as the most threatened rights of freedom of expression. So we could consider as a conflict between freedoms, freedom of the individual to be sovereign in their private domain, against the freedom of the media to reveal what happens in that area when the media deemed as interest; best example this, for the dissemination of the illegitimate video of the arrest of prominent journalist of this city, whom the impromptu cameraman filming not content just with naked reporter wrongly, insults and denigrates in his personality.
The distinguished journalist and a PhD in Educational Sciences Nila Velásquez Coello, in the section of his essay titled Ethics, Communication and Journalism, with whom he collaborates in the work entitled, "Ethics for all", Editorial Planeta, 2004, pp. , 46 tells us that the Colombian Javier Darío Restrepo and Maria Teresa Herran, the 68 codes of professional ethics of journalists from different countries and continents, and concluded that there is a universal consensus not only on the need to adhere to certain ethical standards, but "there are so universally accepted norms of professional journalism." Between ethical values \u200b\u200bcoincide with those relating Restrepo and Herran, displayed the accuracy, confidentiality, the rejection of personal advantage and to plagiarism, independence, union solidarity, respect for fame (read good name) and the privacy of others, responsibility, the need for a proven and complete information, the obligation to rectify and the right to reply and community service.
the case referred to the farce set in the arrest of journalist, would to wonder if, from the ethical point of view, is it acceptable to get television and disseminate information obtained based on a clear desire to do harm and undue action who makes the video? How can we believe that those who obtained the information based on deception is telling me the truth?. It is not just acting in good faith, for good faith in journalism and other professions requires intellectual honesty and respect for the audience. Here, mistakenly thought that ignorance is synonymous with stupidity, and that resiliency may Creole with the intuition of people, then there is so blind as those who will not see. Still not too late to rectify.
