Abstract
The ethics of sports journalism and its practitioners are an increasingly important issue to contemporary sports media. This paper discusses the results from a comparative study involving six sports desks from broadsheet/quality news organisations in the UK, Australia and India. Two ethical issues are key: the practice of plagiarising; and commercial influences in editorial stories. Each nation's ethical guidelines are compared with the results from 36 in-depth interviews, and a content analysis of 4103 articles.
