International ethical documents in the practice of regulating journalism

RELEVANCE. In the modern world, globalization leads to the formation of a single information space and the blurring of boundaries between local and global media. The purpose of the study is to find out how international standards of journalism relate to national and religious ethical norms in the context of globalization, and what prospects exist for the formation of global ethics. The study is aimed at identifying problems and prospects in the field of international standards of journalistic ethics in the context of globalization.

MATERIALS AND METHODS. The object of the study is international and national documents regulating the activities of the media, as well as specific codes adopted in various cultural and religious traditions. We applied a critical analysis of existing approaches and norms in the field of journalism and human rights, as well as possible contradictions and problems associated with the unification of standards. An interdisciplinary approach is used to analyze complex issues related to globalization and journalism.

RESULT AND DISCUSSION. It is shown that, despite globalization and increased international interaction, there is significant diversity in the understanding and application of ethical standards in journalism. However, there is a tendency towards the formation of global ethics, despite existing cultural and religious differences. An example is the gradual approach of Muslim countries to international human rights standards, as well as efforts to take into account the specifics of different cultures in international documents regulating the activities of the media.

CONCLUSION. The study confirms the possibility and necessity of developing universal ethical principles of journalism that take into account the diversity of cultural and religious traditions. At the same time, the role of international documents in promoting dialogue and mutual understanding between journalists from different countries is emphasized. In the future, additional research is required on the practical application of international recommendations in national media systems.
