Untold stories: how corruption and conflicts of interest stalk the
newsroom
London: Ethical Journalism Network (EJN), 2015, 82 p.

The Ethical Journalism Network (EJN), a global coalition of almost 50
journalism and media support groups, today warns that growing corruption
inside media is posing a deadly threat to the future of ethical
journalism. The EJN has published a damning report covering 18
countries that exposes how financially-stricken news media are being
overwhelmed by political and corporate interest groups. 

The report claims media managers are doing deals with advertisers to
carry paid-for material disguised as honest news; some reporters and
editors accept bribes and irregular payments; and there is a culture of
dependence on political and corporate friends that makes it
increasingly difficult to separate journalism from propaganda and public
relations.
