This research offers a broad overview of the professional occupation of journalism and the characteristics of their works, and investigates the ethical differences that arise from relations with the subject being reported. We also consider the limitations that arise during the production of the "news" that is created through the efforts of journalists. In journalism, the main aspiration is to "reveal the truth." In making visible the truth of incidents such as social evils that are not in the best interests of social values or the public good, this research revealed that there is room at times for "the ends justifying the means" in journalism.
