The Center for International Media Ethics (CIME) offers courses in journalism ethics with a focus in J-Ethinomics, combining Journalism, Ethics and Economics.

J-Ethinomics is a term coined by the founder of the Center for International Media Ethics. It's the combination of journalism, ethics and economics. It's what the organisation teaches: using ethics to build trust in the news, sustaining demand for the media industry.

More generally, J-Ethinomics also highlights how the work of journalists impacts political and socio-economic development processes.
