codes of the Judeo-Christian faith, Islamic faith and African Traditional Religion of Ifa Oracle establish the units
of analysis upon which this discuss is anchored. The ten commandments of the Judeo-Christian faith, Islamic
faith, and the sixteen commandments of the Ifa Oracle are assessed; identifying specific aspects which lay
emphasis on justice and fairness, and it is compared with the ethical code of journalism.
The paper concludes on the note that religious ethics provides the moral compass for both personal and
professional conduct, emphasizing fairness, justice and honesty in social interaction and relations. It also enables
objectivity as the media fulfills its social responsibility function.
