ABSTRACT
Ethical Issues While Using Social Networks in Online Media
Author: Nata Dzvelisvili
In young democracies like Georgia the self-regulation system of online media is still fragile. Due
to development of online media, this system has new trends and challenges.
The Goal of the Research is to analyze problems of Georgian online media concerning ethical
standards. The research examined following questions: Whose responsibility is when readers
publish hate speech comments below the online articles? Do the editors and journalists violate
the self-regulations standards using other peoples personal posts (in social networks) as official
comments in news? Do journalists violate the self-regulations standards when they post at the
social networks their personal opinions about the issues they are covering?
For analyzing these topics, qualitative (in-depth interviews) and quantitative (content analyzes)
has been used. In depth interviews has been conducted with seven experts and six editors of online
news portals covering social-political issues in Georgia (Liberali.ge, Tabula.ge, Netgazeti.ge,
News.ge, Droni.ge and Tavisupleba.org).
