الملخص EN

The United Arab Emirates is considered one of the leading countries in the region in terms of the advanced media infrastructure, as the country has excellent technologies, and form a good destination that target diverse media cadres from all over the world.

However, In the UAE, the media environment is still not as advanced as it could be.

In order for a country's media environment to reach the ranks of the leading media in the world, it requires understanding, study, and observation from those in charge in the country.

Many questions revolve around the practices of journalists with regard to their duties because of the huge responsibility they have in shaping people's minds and how the public perceives the world.

When it comes to questions about the ethics of journalists, many revolve around whether or not the journalists are meeting their obligations.

Many researchers argue that the Arab countries, including the UAE, has been largely absent from research on the media environment.

However, this study was conducted to measure the ethical decision of journalists in the UAE and explore how their decisions are influenced by their level of education or educational background.

The results of this study show that most of the journalists couldn't make an ethical and fair decision in the difficult ethical dilemmas they may face.

It was also found that education had a definite influence on ethical decisions.
