Description

Global Journalism Ethics by Stephen John Anthony Ward offers a systematic philosophy for reporting news in a technologically connected age. As traditional boundaries between region and nation have been shattered, a new code of ethics is emerging to guide journalists in their work. The author argues that present media practices are narrowly based within the borders of single countries, making it difficult to inform the public about a globalized world. Ward presents an ethical framework for work in multimedia, extending John Rawl's theories of justice and The human good to redefine the aims of journalism. This new foundation is applied to issues such as the roles of patriotism and objectivity in journalism. This book provides a theoretically rich rulebook for journalists on the air, In print, and on the internet, offering a necessary corrective to contemporary media practices.
