Communication ethics is the study and application of moral principles to communicative practices and interactions. It examines the ethical responsibilities of individuals, groups, media organizations, and institutions in creating, sharing, interpreting, and responding to messages ^[1][2]. Key principles include truthfulness, accuracy, fairness, respect, accountability, and consideration for the rights and well-being of others ^[2][3]. Communication ethics also addresses how power, cultural differences, and social inequalities shape communication, as well as the ethical implications of decisions about what to communicate, how to communicate, and whether to speak or remain silent. It provides a basis for evaluating communication practices across interpersonal, organizational, public, and mediated contexts.
