Summary/Abstract: The ethics of journalism is not only a problem of journalists. The quality of journalistic work has an impact on the quality of society. Yet, the media and journalists are not resistant to unethical practices. These practices might be called the “dark side” of journalism. Society expects from journalists something more than just professional knowledge and technical efficiency. Media and journalists’ involvement in unethical practices, such as corruption, does not serve society.
