20.500.12556/RUL-186477 The values we share towards an inclusive ethics of dialogic communication Digital media offer significant opportunities for dialogue and participation in democratic processes, but they also foster dysfunctional communication patterns such as hate speech and disinformation. While journalism ethics increasingly addresses these challenges, defining “good communication conduct” beyond professional contexts remains difficult. This paper examines the role of dialogic communication in ethical codes and guidelines across various forms of public communication. A comparative study of eight European countries (Austria, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, the Netherlands, Lithuania, Slovenia, and Switzerland) analyses 429 documents from a wide range of national and international institutions. The content analysis, combining qualitative and quantitative methods, reveals that most codes focus on journalism, whereas only few address the needs of media users. However, the study identifies good-practice examples that prioritise different aspects related to dialogue and participation, offering insights into principles of an inclusive ethics of dialogic communication. The findings contribute to the academic discourse on communication ethics in the digital age and provide guidance for media practitioners and policymakers. participation dialogic communication ethics inclusive accountability codes of ethics mediji novinarstvo sporazumevanje etični vidik true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2026-09-02 10:46:09 2026-09-02 10:46:18 2026-09-04 03:31:21 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 Str. 353-372 iss. 2 Vol. 51 2026 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 070.11 1613-4087 10.1515/commun-2026-0011 289725955 Gerjevic_et_al_Comm.pdf Gerjevic_et_al_Comm.pdf 1 DE31D2C317A79039CD21DBAEDE4BE22D 08ac934824c015a73ba9eb1a84e08c58a1e44469edf566ad1024d502922cab8f bb2a1b76-a6aa-11f1-9b0d-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=245741 https://www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi/10.1515/commun-2026-0011 0 d8c7854f-a6aa-11f1-9b0d-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=245742 Fakulteta za družbene vede 0 0 0
