Aristotle, Kant and Weber - Preliminary Philosophical for Journalism Ethics

The approach of the moral dimension of news journalism can be done from the need to establish a discipline with the own identity of the wisdom applied, while, that from the urgency of having a tradition of moral thought to know and to invoke and to refer to it more than ever in these times when journalism is in the hands of professionals and businessmen devoid of moral scruples. Moments, of course, in which the journalistic knowledge is also in the making. So, I think that the ancient and modern philosophers should mention a matter as contemporary as journalism. In this paper, I will try to study the contributions that ethics of responsibility, prudence like professional virtue or some notions of kantian ethics and discoursive ethics can offer to journalistic ethics.
