This paper provides an understanding of immediate and interactive standards of media ethics that should be applied to digital media. Digital media are partly based on amateur journalism, and most principles of media ethics were developed over the last century. The question then is whether it is possible to create media ethics whose standards apply to social and traditional media platforms or whether we will have different standards for different media platforms.
