Abstract
The Danish media landscape, renowned for its commitment to ethical journalism, faces challenges when covering sensational crimes, often leading to breaches of established ethical codes. This research paper investigates the dynamics of sensationalism in crime reporting within Denmark, focusing on the ethical codes that are most susceptible to violations. Using the ‘Submarine Case’ as a case study, the paper explores how media coverage of sensational crimes can lead to ethical code breaches, with a specific emphasis on codes related to court reporting, family circumstances, and public interest.
