- Title
JOURNALISM ETHICS AFTER AUSCHWITZ.
- Authors
Leff, Laurel
- Abstract
The article discusses the effects of the Jewish Holocaust of 1939-1945 on the journalistic profession. According to the author, journalists were at least partially aware of the Holocaust, but reports of it were often short and hidden in the back pages of newspapers where they received little attention from the general public. It is suggested that the largest change that occurred in the press after the Holocaust became widely known was the introduction of the concept of genocide, which was used to group individual reports of future events in Bosnia, Rwanda, and Darfur. Journalistic ethics are also discussed.
