In basic terms ethics can be interpreted as the concern with how society is held together and how it provides the stability and security that are essential to life human (1.) In Deggans' article his ethics and morals are based on how stories are misrepresented. He also uses four key points that he describes in full: “We're not having the right conversations,” “Trying to talk about systemic racial issues during a crisis is always much more difficult,” “Cable news has accelerated the path from news reporting to experts with disastrous results,” and “Each cable news channel fine-tunes its coverage for its target audience, including how that target audience views racial issues” (2-6). Ethics and morals are a good thing because they show the good in society and how society should act. If a story portrays something bad, this tells the audience not to repeat the actions.

This is ethics. The reader is thinking about whether something like this is ethical
