Tiivistelmä:Many political activists have argued that media conglomerates have failed to meet their duties to protect freedom of speech. As journalism and entertainment are increasingly inter-linked, an in depth moral analysis of the media corporation and its obligations becomes increasingly important. This paper explores Kantian, Utilitarian, and Rawlsian analyses of corporate obligation in a few contemporary cases. It proposes that at a minimum, media institutions should view the duty to promote the representation of diverse views in a democracy as an imperfect moral and civic duty rather than making programming decisions solely by reference to profit.
