Introduction: Nowadays, sports and its various dimensions are considered in the different literature as a critical concept. As the sport popularity increases in the society, the media pay more attention on it as well. The media are seen as the individuals’ integration in every society and any unethical or irregular action on their side would not only affect each individual, but also it affects the interpersonal relationships.
Methodology: The methodology is applied in the descriptive-contextual survey in the present study. The statistical population of the present study includes all active sports reporters in the news agencies in Tehran with the average and deviated standard of age, 34.7±8.34, and 52% of the samples were males and 48% were females and 6% of the research samples were associated with the study field of the physical education and 94% were associated with the study field other than the physical education. The data was collected via the standardized Abedof questionnaire. In order to evaluate the questions, the components and the concept of the ethical constitution were evaluated by unisample T-test and in order to evaluate the difference between the average values, the independent T-test and the variance analysis were used.
Results: The ethical constitution status of the reporters was 3.70 ± 0.43 that indicate there is an appropriate status. All nine fold components (honesty, consultancy, governance, legality, trusteeship, fairness, patience, respect, and hope) had appropriate status. In the evaluation of the ethical constitution, there was no significant difference based on the gender (t=1.93, g=0.056). However, the average number of men (3.71 ± 0.41) was better than the average number of men (3.56 ± 0.53). The status of the reporters’ ethical constitution indicated that there was no difference based on the education degrees (f=0.29, g=0.84). Furthermore, due to the difference of the ethical constitution, it was indicated that there was no significant difference based on the study field of the physical education and the study field other than the physical education (f=0.40, g=0.69).
Discussion: The study results indicate that the ethical constitution of the reporter profession can be a proper tool for the progress and improvement of the activity of the members of this profession. As the familiarity with the content of the professional constitution is mandatory for the reporters, the awareness of its limitations is also important, so that the practitioners and the other professional experts can reassess their deeds.
