  GRE和GMAT写作中有一类话题涉及到Mass Media的报道权以及隐私的保护问题，那么媒体的责任道德涉及什么含义以及到底如何约束日益过度的媒体报道呢？掌握这样的概念对于大家写作这类社会话题有很大的益处和启发。

　　道德约束应该成为新闻从业人员的指导方针，并保护个人权利。第一件事是建立客观普适的道德规范。道德标准不是强制性的，因此一些人并不遵从。

　　Ethical restraint would set guidelines for journalists and protect individual rights. The first issue would be to set objective and universal guidelines, so that there would be no debate over who sets the ethical code. The problem would be enforcing these guidelines. The Radio Television News Directors Association and the Society of Professional Journalists both have ethical codes, which include respecting those whom you are reporting about and keeping confidentiality. Those ethical standards are not enforced and so some do not follow them. Some people believe in free speech at all costs. Free speech without restraint causes public outcry and violates people's civil rights like their right to privacy. The difficulty is that people see any form of restraint as censorship and then claim that the government will begin running our lives and making our decisions. If the ethical standards agreed upon were universal they would satisfy everyone and if the journalists would follow them there would be no need for government intervention.
