All fields of human existence flourish in and through communication. Scientific and technological advancements have broadened the scope of communication and increased the speed and efficiency of communication, covering the globe within seconds. Distance is no longer a communication barrier as more people communicate in the digital world. The amount of information conveyed in communication also increased along with these changes. However, it also raises ethical questions like privacy, unaccountability, irresponsibility, opacity, and intolerance confronted by various growing challenges like information overload, fake news, misinformation, identity crisis, cultural barriers, and cybercrimes. This necessitates a systematic ethical perspective in communication. Given the above, the chapter critically examines various ethical theories, such as utilitarianism, deontological ethics, and virtue ethics. It underlines virtue ethics as the most suitable ethical theory for a meaningful communication process. 2026, IGI Global Scientific Publishing. All rights reserved.
