Description

Journalism Ethics: A Philosophical Approach explores the core values and best practices that have sustained journalism through its transformations since radio and television news emerged. This book provides a sophisticated model for ethical decision-making, connecting classical theories with the central purposes of journalism. Scholars from philosophy, journalism, and communications contribute essays on topics such as objectivity, privacy, confidentiality, conflict of interest, and online journalism. The result is a comprehensive guide to ethically sound and socially justified journalism. This book will appeal to students and teachers of journalism ethics, as well as journalists and practical ethicists. By examining the fundamental principles of journalism, Journalism Ethics offers a nuanced understanding of the field's values and practices.
