Os media modernos à luz de uma ética da comunicação

Abstract

A reflection about the role of the media in the ethical discussions of communication given the increasing importance of the modern technological devices in the context of public communication. Without disregarding the limits of deontology; the distinction between means of communication and functional media; the relationship between language and interaction; the new configurations of the public and the private in today's mediatic context, the author investigates how and on what conditions, in the complex field of the symbolic forms, it is possible to guarantee a communicational structure of the experience. What criteria provide a linguistic and interunderstandable organization of the symbolic forms particularly in the fields of ethics and moral.
