Abstract
In order to explore the intricacies that influence and inform health reportage in India, this study examines the ethical challenges posed to health reporters using qualitative research methods. The research findings highlight the seen and unseen influences on health reporters and probe whether they are able to adhere to ethical practices in their work and, if not, what are the impediments. The study also illuminates how journalists deal with a range of issues in delivering their professional responsibility of reporting matters relating to health and allied themes. The issues include, among others ethical dilemmas, gender discrimination in and outside the newsroom, conflict of interest, risk of breaching privacy and confidentiality while reporting on sensitive subjects pertaining to the public, especially marginalised groups.
