In the process of establishing the above premises, the paper dwells on topics like the relationship of communication to ethics, ethical dilemma, ethics and morality, a brief history of ethics, the three branches of ethics, ethical behaviour of media practitioners, strategies to counter intrusion and finally on the subject of truth as the only objective of communication ethics.
