One example of ethics is the image of teenagers in the media. They are stereotypical images of them and are usually negative. The papers are quick to jump onto the negative stories involving teenagers, but they aren't so quick to report on positive stories.
Another example would be Muslims in the media. There is a small majority that take thier religion to the extreme, but in the media they are all stereotyped as the same old negative image, when it is really only a very small majority.
Also, celebrities are portrayed badly. Celebrities are photographed rolling out of clubs (Sarah Harding being a prime example) and the headlines are about them being drunk, but the picture is usually just taken at an awkward moment.
