Means of moral education in ethics and communication deontology

Abstract

In this paper will be presented a view on different theories and means of moral education (as well as some practical examples) to be applied in the teaching of Ethics and Communication Deontology: cognitive-evolutive approach and procedure for moral dilemmas discussion in the journalistic practice itself; theories and methods which give priority to ideas and knowledge for the right behaviour; tools for the development of virtuous habits; and methods for developing empathy and affective dispositions. The aim is to foster an integrating moral education of future journalists.
