Ethical journalism or broadcasting is widely used terms by media institutions to improve their public credibility and increase their power on public or political institutions. Yet, due to economic, social or political concerns of media organisations, ethics are often twisted to be able to serve their political or financial interests. As a result of such ill-actions or ill-considerations media organisations have been gradually losing the trust of public in them. This article evaluates the relationship between media ethics and public credibility in them, and as a solution to the problem, it proposes setting up a new „Media Ethics Watch Committee‟ to improve better implementation of ethical standards in media organisations.
