The end (or intention) refers to the goal that the individual was pursuing while doing the action. Based on the goal in mind when executing the act, some principles can be derived. Because of the purpose, an act that is neutral because of its object might become good or bad. For example, jogging is a meaningless activity in and of itself. It is a nice deed when done to retain good health, but it is an evil conduct when done to reach at a location where the individual commits larceny. Because of the purpose, an act that is good because of its object may become better, less good, or even bad. Giving a contribution to a homeless person, for example, is a good deed; yet, giving a donation only to get rid of the person is still a good deed, although not as good as in the first situation. When a donation is made with the intent of luring a homeless person into doing something unethical for you, it becomes an immoral act. An activity that is wicked in its aim may become more or less incorrect over time, but it will never be good in its intent. For example, lying is ethically reprehensible, but lying to slander another person is even more so. Similarly, lying "to get out of trouble" is still dishonest and bad, but it is less so because of the reason behind the lie (e.g. spies caught by foreign agency).
Furthermore, analyzing a person's moral character is a tough task since it is impacted by a variety of internal and external circumstances. Most moralists believe that these three aspects, from which every act derives its morality, must be taken into account when determining the goodness or badness of any given human action. That is why the moralists are right when they say that a human act is morally good if it is good in its aim, conditions, and intention.
2. NEW TRENDS IN JOURNALISM
Development Journalism
Juan L. Mercado
"Write so People
don’t lose hope."
New Trend of Journalism
- interpreting and reporting the news in a development
perspective
September 1969
- Press Foundation of Asia started its weekly news feature
service called DEPTH News, a rough acronym for
development, economics, and population themes.
Development Journalism is still relevant today.

NEW TRENDS IN JOURNALISM
4. NEW TRENDS IN JOURNALISM
Public Journalism
- also called as civic journalism
Peace Journalism
- a new approach to conflict reporting.
Principles of Peace Journalism
1. Be proactive in reporting conflicts. Do not wait
for war to break out before reporting it. You
might even help prevent conflict by being
proactive.
2. Report both visible and invisible effects of war.
Do not focus only on the body count(dead and
injured) but also on the human suffering war
brings on the civilians and war’s impact on the
society.
5. NEW TRENDS IN JOURNALISM
3. Be people-oriented in conflict reporting. Do
not focus on the elite only as actors and sources
of information.
4. Avoid concentrating only on what divides the
parties. Ask questions which may reveal areas of
common ground.
5. Explain the causes and consequences of
conflict.
6. Avoid labeling of good guys and bad guys.
7. Be multiparty oriented. There are always more
than two sides to any conflict.
8. Be nonpartisan.
6. NEW TRENDS IN JOURNALISM
9. Avoid making an opinion or claim seem like an
established facts.
10. Avoid treating the signing of document by
leaders, which bring about military victory or
ceasefire, as necessarily creating peace. Report on
the issues that remain.
11. Avoid waiting for leaders on one side to
suggest or offer solutions. Instead pick up and
explore peace initiatives wherever they came
from.
12. Take a win-win situation. The reporter must
recognize that there are many goals and possible
solutions to any conflict.
13. Stay on and report the peace that follows a
war.
7. NEW TRENDS IN JOURNALISM
People’s Journalism – The End Goal of
Development Journalism, Public
Journalism, and Peace Journalism?
Shelton Gunaratne (2002) says they are similar
on three points:
1. All three concepts are in agreement that the
mass media must go beyond traditional news
values to provide a more useful service to the
community.
2. Both public journalism and development
journalism are founded on the vision of
communication as conversation. The
participatory, bottom-up (non-linear) model of
communication and development is integral to
both.
8. NEW TRENDS IN JOURNALISM
3. Just as much as public
journalism is concerned with
community building within
the framework of democratic
ideals, development
journalism is concerned with
public participation in nation-
building within the same
framework.
