Recent advances in information technologies have allowed easier and faster access not only to technical and production, but also social, cultural and ethical information, viewpoints and assessments by the public at large –without the scrutiny of a centralized administration. This ongoing process has paved the way for a new people-oriented ethics to emerge, while, underlining the importance of such concepts as human rights, equality and freedom. Managerial ethics’ sphere of influence is not limited to the business world. It is, in fact, concerned with every aspect of social life.

How managerial ethics, as an applied field, can be implemented within a methodology in organizational process, and how to solve the problems that may arise along the way is an important field in modern administrative sciences. It is of special importance that, the media organizations, commonly referred to as the fourth power in democratic societies, have an internal system of governance driven by managerial ethics and its practices.
