Description
Media Ethics explores the fundamental questions faced by the media in balancing public right-to-know with individual privacy. This text brings together diverse perspectives from philosophers, media academics and journalists to examine key concepts such as truth, virtue, freedom of expression and the ethics of journalism. The book delves into debates about media intrusion, political journalism, censorship and the limits of freedom of expression. It provides a nuanced understanding of the moral and ethical dilemmas that arise in the role of the media in modern society. By engaging with these pressing issues, Media Ethics offers a thought-provoking analysis of the complex relationships between media, ethics and morality.
