“…In the opinion of the interviewees, the fact that the media industry should be self-regulated (Quinn, 2016; Pickard, 2010; Fielden, 2012) at the time was “pre-emptive protection against probable abuse, which could lead to complex legal regulations” (Ernesto Corona, personal communication, 27 July 2017). Self-regulation was regarded as more efficient and fairer than legislation: “it is very difficult for an ordinary court (of justice) to refine actions to a further extent” (Ernesto Corona, personal communication, 27 July 2017).…”

“…Self-regulation is valued for several reasons (Quinn, 2016). It is valued as a system because it permits “nuanced responses” (José Joaquín Brunner, personal communication, 27 July 2017).…”

“…On the contrary, Quinn (2016) and Pickard (2010) place the origins of self-regulation in the statement issued by the Hutchins Commission in 1947, which warns American journalism that the First Amendment is not enough to protect the press, and promotes “the necessity of self-governance and professional accountability” (Pickard, 2010, p. 404).…”

“…Self-regulation as a response to the media’s internal factors is based on the idea that the media are self-vulnerable. Thus, self-regulation prevents “institutional corrosion and corruption”, as well as potential “institutional failures” (Quinn, 2016, p. 116).…”

Purpose This paper reviews the origins of the Ethics Council of the Federation of Social Communication Media of Chile (1991-2019) and looks into the historical circumstances surrounding its creation, the concept of self-regulation as understood by its founders, and the criteria that initially ruled its operation. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative survey of nine contemporary witnesses and the confrontation with the scientific literature. Findings The results reveal a significant coincidence with the academic literature both in the description of the concept of self-regulation and in the origin of the ethics councils and of the system under which they operate. However, a series of nuances not usually considered in the concept of self-regulation are described. Originality/value This study will help assess the national and international possibilities of self-regulation and the significance of the Chilean ethics council.

“…Journalistic standards are set by professional bodies including the US Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ), which has existed since 1909. As a voluntary standard‐setting organization, the SPJ is a good example of self‐governance, which Quinn (2016, p. 116) explicitly referred to as “self‐governance and professional accountability”. The SPJ produces a code of ethics, including commitments to “seek truth and report it”, “minimize harm,” and “accountability and transparency.” In doing so, it aims to ensure ethical reporting and prevent the spread of willful disinformation campaigns.…”

This article examines how modes of governance are reconfigured as a result of using algorithms in the governance process. We argue that deploying algorithmic systems creates a shift toward a special form of design‐based governance, with power exercised ex ante via choice architectures defined through protocols, requiring lower levels of commitment from governing actors. We use governance of three policy problems – speeding, disinformation, and social sharing – to illustrate what happens when algorithms are deployed to enable coordination in modes of hierarchical governance, self‐governance, and co‐governance. Our analysis shows that algorithms increase efficiency while decreasing the space for governing actors' discretion. Furthermore, we compare the effects of algorithms in each of these cases and explore sources of convergence and divergence between the governance modes. We suggest design‐based governance modes that rely on algorithmic systems might be re‐conceptualized as algorithmic governance to account for the prevalence of algorithms and the significance of their effects.
