| Abstract: | This thesis examines whether Ethiopian Television’s current system of accountability
encourages the ethical practice of journalism. It explores newsroom practices by
highlighting journalism as a profession and examining journalistic ethical standards in
general and journalistic responsibility and accountability in specific. It evaluates ETV’s
editorial policy, noting to whom its journalists are accountable, examining gaps between
newsroom policy and practices regarding accountability and gauging whether editorial
policy encourages accountability. This study also reveals the newsroom’s institutional
accountability rather than the journalists’ individual values. It also documents ETV
shortfalls and omissions regarding accountability and suggests newsroom procedures to
encourage it. |
