Ethics in Communication

Communication, which is a multidisciplinary discipline, covers many branches such as politics, economy, psychology, media, health and education, as well as dealing with multi-faceted human relations. Communication, which is shaped on social and individual legal and ethical foundations, takes its ethical foundations from the society. In the communication process, in which information, feelings and thoughts are transferred between individual and social groups by means of communication tools such as words, images, body movements, writing, it is very important that both the content and the forms of access comply with ethical principles. Unethical practices experienced in this process damage social trust and create a negative environment for the parties with whom they communicate. For this reason, the issue of ethics in the field of communication is discussed in this book. Ethical themes, written by academics from all fields of communication, are subjects that should be read and known in terms of creating social trust.
