520    This book provides useful pointers to help journalists 
       navigate the dilemmas they face in the professional 
       practice. It provides an enlightening overview of the 
       views of Mauritian journalists on their own industry and 
       an in-depth look at the South African model for self-
       regulation. As part of the ethical approach, the book also
       reviews the main issues related to gender-sensitive 
       reporting, in view of the significant role the media have 
       to play in gender education. In an age of information 
       overload, over-exposure to a hyper-mediated culture and 
       the rise of user-generated content, journalists 
       increasingly strive to remain relevant. The temptation to 
       use lower standards, resort to sensationalism and even 
       paycheck journalism is strong. Such examples of unethical 
       practice can only further undermine the credibility of a 
       profession which purports to act as a watchdog, a Fourth 
       Estate. Claims that ethics is a private affair no longer 
       hold good. Journalism is a public good and the need to a 
       clear social contract is stronger than ever in a world 
       where transparency and accountability are on the agenda. 
       Mechanisms for ensuring ethical practice are essential and
       should be hailed as beacons for a stronger journalism.
