网络信息伦理研究

文章阐述了网络信息时代新的伦理学体系,这是一种构建在传统的伦理学基础上并适应网络信息社会发展需要的有所创新的网络信息伦理学体系。网络信息伦理在本质上有三个层面。即从网络信息伦理的起源上看,网络信息伦理是人类交往活动的现实需要和规律反映;从网络信息伦理的应用上看,网络信息伦理调节着人们在信息交往活动中的功利实现;从网络信息伦理的目的上看网络信息伦理追求人类社会在网络信息时代的和谐与进步。

关于编辑职业道德的思索

编辑的职业道德既要符合一般道德要求,又要体现编辑职业的特点。它应当是编辑人员在编辑过程在形成和必须遵守的行为规范的总和。编辑工作中,在处现同国家、社会、作者、同行以及参加编辑活动的其他人员的关系时,应以编辑职业道德为准则。为了保证编辑工作的质量,编辑工作者除了应该具有很好的业务素质外,要加强职来道德修养。     

关于编辑伦理学的思考

编辑学是一门逐渐形成的学科,在其理论框架的构建中,尚有不少问题需要研讨、理顺。伦理学是关于道德品行的学问,把伦理学同编辑实践活动中的行为准则及编辑与作者、读者之间的关系作为研究内容,可为编辑学的发展提供伦理学的理论依据。为此,有必要创建编辑学的新分支——编辑伦理学。本文对编辑伦理学的基本概念、研究内容、研究方法等提出个人思考。

Euroethics--a database network on biomedical ethics

BACKGROUND: EUROETHICS is a database covering European literature on ethics in medicine. It is produced within Eurethnet, a European information network on ethics in medicine and biotechnology. OBJECTIVES: The aim of Euroethics is to disseminate information on European bioethical literature that may otherwise be difficult to find. METHODS: A collaboration model for pooling data from different centres was developed. The policy was to accomplish data uniformity, while still allowing for local differences in terms of software, indexing practices and resources. Records contributed to the database follow common standards in terms of data fields and indexing terms. The indexing terms derive from two thesauri, Thesaurus Ethics in the Life Sciences (TELS) and Medical Subject Headings (MeSH). Combining elements from search tools developed previously, the developers sought to find a technical solution optimized for this data model. An approach relying on a thesaurus database that is loaded along with the bibliographic database is described. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: The present case study offers examples of possible approaches to several tasks often encountered in database development, such as: merging data from diverse sources, getting the most out of indexing terms used in a database, and handling more than one thesaurus in the same system.     

Building a collaborative communication ethics manifesto

Courses: This activity could be used in courses where persuasion, dialogue, and communication ethics are primary. Thus, a communication ethics course, or course units where students discuss ethics, would be appropriate. For instance, even a human communication course could use this activity to describe ethical treatment of “the other” or a mass communication class can use this activity to discuss ethical power (i.e. the power of technology or news media). This activity could also be modified for use in a public speaking, rhetoric, organizational, or small group communication.

Objective: This activity should be used in tandem with the National Communication Association (NCA) ethical credos on communication. In 2014, to mark the 100th anniversary of the NCA, NCA reaffirmed three ethical credos: The Credo for Free and Responsible Communication in a Democratic Society (National Communication Association, 2013); The Credo for Free and Responsible Use of Electronic Communication Network (National Communication Association, 1963); and the Credo for Ethical Communication (National Communication Association, 1999). When training students to think ethically, it is important to help them develop categories and determine declarative statements. Thus, the NCA documents are effective examples of communication manifestos. Ultimately, through collaboration with partners, small groups of students will develop a communication ethics manifesto in a format similar to the NCA examples. Specifically, they will identify ethical dilemmas, in the activity these are called “Urgent 21st Century Communication Ethics Issues,” and determine declarative statements that provide an ethical framework to address the issue. The “big question”: can student groups create a declarative and collaborative manifesto that addresses urgent 21t century communication ethics issues?     

Sorting out the ethics of propaganda

“Social movement”; is a set of meanings and not an objective phenomenon. We therefore require explanations of “movement”; in rhetoric, not explanations of persuasion in allegedly discrete and objective situations.

Documentary ethics,ontology, and politics

Recent years have seen a sharp rise of attention to the importance of documentation in various disciplines in the social sciences. Many thinkers have found the concept of assemblages, which emphasizes complexity, heterogeneity, and emergence, fruitful for investigating the role of documents and documentation. This article analyses some examples from anthropology and management studies as contributions to documentary ethics, ontology, and politics. The first pair of case studies reveals a documentary activism of biological and therapeutic citizenship. The second pair shows how documentation works constitutively to bring different kinds of entities into being. Both kinds of cases practice a documentary politics, which is analyzed in terms of Bruno Latour’s ideas of “reassembling the social”.

论市场经济与出版伦理

随着社会主义市场经济的逐步确立,作者认为,只有坚持市场价值取向和伦理价值取向的结合才是出版改革的合理思路。强调出版伦理,是由于出版物的内在属性。作为商品,出版物必须进入商品市场,转移它的使用价值,才能实现它的价值,但作为特殊商品,它有不同于一般商品的丰富的伦理价值。为了满足人民大众正当的精神消费需要而生产的出版物,都是正当的,是符合道德的,就必定有它相应的市场。只有基于市场的、又是基于道德的努力才能建立有中国特色的完善的社会主义出版市场。

Development and validation of the library ethics scale

Most studies on library ethics are theoretical. No scale has been developed with a valid and reliable psychometric property to measure library staff and users' ethical perceptions or behaviors. This paper describes the development of a brief measure of the Library Ethics Scale (LES) conducted in two consecutive studies. In the first study, based on the literature review and opinions of expert groups, 47 items were developed for the item pool. These items were administered to 521 university library users in Turkey. An explanatory factor analysis indicated a strong two-factor solution. In the second study conducted on 259 participants, these two-factor structures showed good psychometric properties, with 18 items explaining the total variance of 59.074. The Cronbach alpha reliability coefficient was 0.903, and the two sub-dimensions were found to be 0.91, and 0.888, respectively. The LES shows good validity and reliability properties and has potential application in library ethics settings, including library professionals' perceptions and users' perceptions and behaviors.     

倾斜的新闻伦理与错位的职业操守——日本媒体涉华报道中的"群体失范"现象

近年来，日本新闻界出现了一个十分异常的新动向，在涉华报道中原本立场殊异的大众媒体开始呈现高度的趋同性和“群体失范”现象，其表现特征为：（1）背弃基本的新闻伦理和职业操守，日渐丧失了社会公器应有的正义和理性批判，将如何维护大和民族自身的利益奉为报道载量的惟一准绳；（2）追求市场效应，迎合日益高涨的民族主义激情，与某些偏执意见领袖结成“利益同盟”，将舆情环境推向危险境域；（3）推崇“集中豪雨”式的煽情手法，强化涉华负面报道，为心理失衡的民众提供“社会支持”。上述动向有助于我们从更深层次重新探讨新闻伦理的基本命题。
