Ifølge Ethical Journalism Networks nyeste rapport om etiske utfordringer i journalistikken, vitner nyhetsåret 2016 om at det må lanseres tiltak for å håndtere problemstillinger knyttet til journalistisk uavhengighet og etikk.
Direktør i EJN, Aidan White trekker spesielt frem sider ved mediedekkingen av presidentvalget i USA, Brexit og den humanitære krisen i Aleppo som eksempler på at det må utvikles mediepolitiske tiltak for å løse utfordringene knyttet til journalistisk mangfold og uavhengighet.
