What is released as media news is essentially the result of media owners' choices and decisions. This selection, or gatekeeping, happens in the process of transforming the event into news, and it is the editors and chief editors of the media who decide to keep the news hidden or published and how it will be published. In this article, some ethical principles and criteria of this selection and choice of religious texts (the Koran and hadith) were aimed to be exemplified and compiled to ensure that the news is in accordance with the correct ethical standards on the part of those in charge. This essay attempts to specifically address the question of who and with what moral characteristics can be the gatekeeper and the decision maker to decide whether or not to publish the news in the Islamic media, and after this responsibility what ethical principles they should observe. |
