Abstract
In practice, the work suggests that news media and audiences jointly possess potential to apply conversational means of looking after the social media discussions taking place in news media’s social media spaces, to mitigate such negative forms of communication as hate speech. News media should consider the visuality aspect of social media platforms too as news takes on increasingly visual forms. From the legislation standpoint, the study shows that news media also should closely monitor the development and application of the EU’s ‘Digital Acts’. Furthermore, the dissertation contributes to the field of journalism ethics via practical social media-related recommendations for the Finnish Press Council, which revised its Journalistic guidelines in 2023–2024.
