Most specialists in media ethics feel comfortable only if a discussion of communication ethics finishes with a kind of deontological code that spells out quite clearly what professionals should and should not do in concrete circumstances. What this code might in fact look like will depend on discussions among media practitioners who are committed to a communitarian ethos of communication. Nevertheless, it may finally make more clear the issues facing journalism ethics today to list something like a code. 1. The professional communicator believes that making truthful statements in the media is based on the ability to formulate a text that articulates the identities of publics in a way that enables those publics to recognise, affirm and reformulate their cultural identities. 2. The professional communicator is committed to articulating the sense of alienation and injustice experienced by publics so that these injustices can be dealt with and the public cultural truth can be reformulated in a more just manner. 3. The professional communicator is committed to articulate identities in a way that emphasises the cultural capital of the groups involved but also orients these groups toward dialogue and finding common identity symbols with other groups. 4. The professional communicator is committed to gradually building in publics confidence in their identities and a sense of the just or unjust recognition of these identities so that at the opportune moment in the local or national communities these publics will fearlessly and without vengeance engage in political action to introduce a more just society. 5. The professional communicator is committed to greater attention to the more marginal groups in society and to helping these groups become more articulate in the public media. 6. The professional communicator is committed to developing a language in the public media which makes it possible not simply to present a great quantity of information but rather to present moral issues and the moral claims of different major actors so that these can be discussed.
