The title "Journalism in Crisis: Ethics, Trust, and Accountability" encompasses a comprehensive examination of the current state of journalism, focusing on the profound challenges that the industry faces. This paper delves into the ethical dilemmas faced by journalists in an era characterized by rapid technological advancements, declining trust in media, and the pervasive influence of misinformation. It argues that the erosion of ethical standards and the failure to uphold accountability have led to a crisis within journalism, which threatens the very foundation of democratic societies. Through an analysis of case studies and theoretical frameworks, the paper explores the various factors contributing to this crisis, including media consolidation, the rise of social media, and the commercialization of news. It further discusses the impact of these issues on the public's perception of journalism and proposes potential solutions to restore trust and promote ethical practices within the industry.
