2	Rethinking notion of journalism ethics in the reportage of 2008 xenophobic attacks: the case of Sowetan and Daily Sun newspapers Bakare, Sunday Adegboyega 11 1900 (has links) This study aims to draw on some of the ethical guidelines enshrined in the South African Press Code (SAPC 2007:10). This SAPC states that “the press shall be obliged to report news truthfully, accurately, fairly and in a balanced manner, without any intentional or negligent departure from the facts”. This insight is used in order to analyse the way in which the 2008 xenophobic attacks were reported in South Africa by the Sowetan and Daily Sun newspapers. Overall, the findings show that the two newspapers adhered to the South African Press Code (2007), and were ethical in their 2008 news reports. This specifically contradicts the dominant perception of most mainstream newspaper readers, who thought that, the Daily Sun is just a tabloid newspaper which “represents the lowest standard of journalism” (Wasserman 2012:1), because of its sensational crime and sex stories. / Communication Science / M.A. (Communication) Xenophobia Makwerekwere Aliens Ubuntu Journalism ethics Press code Press council Press Ombudsman 174.907 Sowetan Newspaper Daily Sun Newspaper Journalistic ethics Mass media --Moral and ethical aspects Reporter and reporting --South Africa Immigrants --Press coverage Press --Moral and ethical aspects
