MEDIA RESEARCH ETHICS
-
The researcher must also keep in mind that no method can ever be
completely safe for himself or his respondents … The ethics of social
science are situation ethics” (Humphreys, 1970)

An „ethic‟ is a moral principle or a code of conduct which …
governs what people do. It is concerned with the way people
act or behave. The term „ethics‟ usually refers to the moral
principles, guiding conduct, which are held by a group or even
a profession (though there is no logical reason why individuals
should not have their own code)” (Wellington, 2000: 54)

During this war, Germany had concentration camps in which they put
people they thought were non-human such as homosexuals, Jews,
gypsies, and the mentally ill.
The German medical community did experimentation on these groups.
Such experimentations were not considered good science later
and did great harm to these “non-people” including killing some of
them.
NAZI SCIENCE
The Nazi euthanasia
project
Mengele's twin studies
at Auschwitz
Nazi sterilization
experiments
Dachau hypothermia
and high altitude
experiments
Buchenwald biological
warfare experiments
Nazi medicine's role in
genocide
In the USA, we had a famous violation of research
ethics. During the early part of the 20th century poor
Black men who had syphilis were in a research study
funded by the USA government. At that time, there was
no effective treatment for this disease. As this research
continues into the early 1970s, there was treatment for
syphilis but these men did not receive it. When the
news of this reached the public there was outrage
about this unethical use of human research subjects.
There was a nurse involved in this and a play was
written with her as a main character.
THE TUSKAGEE SYPHILIS STUDY
In a scientific study of the
effects of syphilis over several
decades in black populations
around Tuskagee in USA
sufferers were not properly
treated to allow the disease to
progress so that the effects
could be studied
The study was continued until
1972
The scientific team
As part of the study lumbar
punctures were made without
informed consent

INFORMED CONSENT
Ethical principles involved are:
Person‟s autonomy,
Do no harm,
Do good,
Truth telling
Person being asked to participate in research needs to have freedom of choice. Should
be able to say no freely if wishes to. Should understand that if enters the research,
can withdraw later if wishes to
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Matt.Henn, A short Introduction to Social research, Sage Publications, Uk , 2003 , P: 85
INFORMED CONSENT
Subjects in a study must base their voluntary
participation on a full understanding of the possible
risks involved.
