Summary

The rise of intolerant groups using media to publish images and stories about vulnerable groups creates a special problem for media ethics.

Extremism leads to serious media harm, including unjustifiable profound offence. The more that extreme messages are circulated, the greater likelihood that citizens, frustrated by slow-moving moderate politics, may adopt more extreme “solutions” to complex problems. Dialogic democracy wanes.
