Abstract

The study focuses on the vision of communicators in the Emirati newspapers of the role of the media ethics’ courses that they studied in university programs in enhancing their professional and ethical background. This is in order to identify the extent of the effectiveness and efficiency of these courses and the academic deficiencies that should be paid attention to in building the knowledge of media ethics curricula in Arab universities. This is conducted through distributing a questionnaire over a sample of 60 Arab journalists and main findings indicate a difference between study and practice.
