Abstract
In order to explore the intricacies that influence and inform health reportage in India, this study examines the ethical challenges posed to health reporters using qualitative research methods. The research findings highlight the seen and unseen influences on health reporters and probe whether they are able to adhere to ethical practices in their work and, if not, what are the impediments. The study also illuminates how journalists deal with a range of issues in delivering their professional responsibility of reporting matters relating to health and allied themes. The issues include, among others ethical dilemmas, gender discrimination in and outside the newsroom, conflict of interest, risk of breaching privacy and confidentiality while reporting on sensitive subjects pertaining to the public, especially marginalised groups.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Asian and African Studies (JAAS) was founded in 1965 to further research and study on Asia and Africa. JAAS is a peer reviewed journal of area studies recognised for consistent scholarly contributions to cutting-edge issues and debates. The journal welcomes articles, research notes, and book reviews that focus on the dynamics of global change and development of Asian and African nations, societies, cultures, and the global community. Published articles cover: -development and change -technology and communication -globalization -public administration -politics -economy -education -health, wealth, and welfare -poverty and growth -humanities -sociology -political science -linguistics -economics JAAS adheres to a double-blind reviewing policy in which the identity of both the reviewer and author are always concealed from both parties. Decisions on manuscripts will be taken as rapidly as possible. However, while it is hoped that a decision can be made in 6-8 weeks, the refereeing process makes it impossible to predict the length of time that will be required to process any given manuscript.
