Abstract

Deontology in emergency situations. A case study and considerations for a responsible communication exercise
Emergency situations represent an extremely complex phenomenon for journalists who are conditioned by time constraints, the need to improvise and other pressures. Over recent years, the medias coverage of certain crises has generated public criticism. This article analyses a local story from 2005, the so-called Carmel Case. Based on eight communication media, we outline a number of deontological and ethical issues that this case raises and we make some well-reasoned proposals for improving media coverage of emergency situations. Some proposals are based on our research into the Carmel Case and others are made by media theorists and regulatory bodies.
