ABSTRACT
Media jurisprudence investigates the philosophy of making media laws. Media ethicology enquires into the discourse on the ethics of media communication, in particular the private space for individual moral decisions. Media ethicism is the study of the doctrines of media communication, and concentrates on the political-philosophical context. Media jurisprudence looks into how and why laws are made to control media messaging. Media ethicology invites a study of the debate on how media communicators should behave from a moral point of view. Media ethicism investigates the belief systems or doctrines of media communicators. These belief systems are ideological, religious or political. They are sometimes spiritual and, at the very least, are always philosophical.
