Communication ethics is a sub-branch of moral philosophy concerning the understanding of manifestations of communicative interaction.[1]
Every human interaction involves communication and ethics, whether implicitly or explicitly. Intentional and unintentional ethical dilemmas arise frequently in daily life. Rhetoric, media studies, intercultural/international communication, relational, and organizational communication all incorporate ethical issues.[2][3]
Communication ethics has implications for enterprises, corporations, professional entities, and individuals. Unethical communication practices within a company can harm its reputation and shareholder value.[4][5] However, companies must also maintain a balance between transparency and considerations such as privacy, confidentiality, and profitability.[6][7]
