4. Conclusion and Suggestions
In conclusion, the news has a major potential in terms of education of environmental ethics. As emphasized
before, the environmental ethics and occupational ethics of journalism should be considered as two parts of the same
totality. The education, on its own, is a way of thinking that is to say raising an awareness. The news, as the most
extensive and accessible means of information, provides with a unique opportunity in the education of
environmental ethics since it requires a certain level of awareness and it is possible to reach to that level of
awareness on the basis of information. Expansion of the course modules regarding the ethics in the journalism
departments of the increasing number of communication faculties in a way to encapsulate the environmental ethics
will be the most important step to take. It should not be forgotten that the future heralds are the individuals of a
society in which the awareness about the environmental ethics needs to be raised. Embarking on their professions as
equipped with this set of information will help them be the user of the most effective and extensive means in terms
of the education of environmental ethics.
This approach will initially help heralds profess having a desired level of awareness for environmental ethics. An
education of ethics in accord with the totality conceptualized with superior ethics rather than environmental and
occupational ethics will open the door to raise awareness even in the course of the creation for the most effective
content of the media. This sort of educational approach needs to be put into practice as soon as possible since a
consistent journalism in terms of environmental ethics complies with the public interest which falls within the basic
definition of the profession.
