Book excerpt: Journalism was imported into Africa from the West. However, this does not mean that the ethical principles on which African journalism is based should be similarly imported. In this collection, numerous mass communication specialists outline the ethical problems and solutions in the arena of African journalism. Opinions differ: on who should be blamed for the lack of morals among African journalists - the journalist, the employer, the politicians or the general public; on which form of ethics is most suitable for Africa - deontological, utilitarian, situational, or a combination of some or all of these; on the best ways to build ethical principles within the profession - through education, through legislation, or through reliance on journalistic good will. (DÜI-Hff).
