Abstract

The authors of this study attempt to ascertain whether rumor is used as an element of news in the Spanish sports media. First, they establish a theoretical framework, and then conduct an ethical analysis of the Spanish media. The use of rumor is an injurious practice for journalism and is regarded as an offense in journalism codes of ethics.
