Review Quotes
From the concept of flourishing through explorations of information accuracy, access, and trust, Media Ethics enables us to believe that the best within us can be tapped. Though right action often isn't easily determined, the opportunity to expand our capacity for empathy and understanding is here if we're willing to do the work.
The best way to engage students in a conversation about media ethics is to provide them with relevant cases that they can relate to. This book provides a great mix of contemporary cases from varied media.
This book is one of the few that examines media ethics from the perspective of various media disciplines including photography, advertising and public relations in addition to news. This reality makes it easier to address the needs and interests of our students enrolled in these various concentrations.
