The article I found in regards to media ethics involved a seminar in Cairo, hosted by the Ethical Journalism Network (EJN) and the Egypt Media Development Program (EMDP). Experts from Egypt, Lebanon, Palestine, Norway Britain, Iraq, Tunisia, Morocco, and Jordan. The issue revolved around proper training of journalists to avoid Hate Speech in media involving the middle east. I think this an important issue because of the crisis in the middle east involving ISIS and because of the negative stigma associated with the middle east fueled by western (mainly the United States) news.
Seminar in Cairo
I think the news media are handling the situations poorly, inciting hate incidents in some cases.
