| Sumario: | Digital journalists from three countries (Belgium, Spain and Italy) argue that the ethical exercise of journalism depends on the personal and professional values of journalists as well as on external factors (of commercial, economic, political and technological nature). Journalism ethics is, thus, influenced by the working conditions as well as the technology used to carry out the professional activity. However, the degree of independence of the media companies where journalists work, and their personal values are perceived as the most influential factors in the ethical practice of journalism, while the influence of the interaction with the public and its opinions are considered as secondary.
