[Air-L] New book of interest: journalism/media ethics

[Charles Ess]

Dear AoIRists,

Edited by Stephen A.J. Ward, _Global Media Ethics: Problems and
Perspectives_ is now out from Wiley-Blackwell:

<http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/toc/1405183926/ref=dp_toc?ie=UTF8&n=2662
39>

>From the publisher's blurb:
Global Media Ethics  is the first comprehensive cross­cultural exploration
of the conceptual and practical issues facing media ethics in a global
world. A team of leading journalism experts investigate the impact of major
global trends on responsible journalism.   The first full­length, truly
global textbook on media ethics   Explores how current global changes in
media promote and inhibit responsible journalism  Includes relevant and
timely ethical discussions based on major trends in journalism and global
media  Questions existing frameworks in Media Ethics in light of the impact
of global media  Contributors are leading experts in global journalism and
communication.

(In the name of full disclosure: yes, I have a chapter in there, on "Global
Media Ethics? Issues, Requirements, Challenges, Resolutions".)

The book will be of interest to those wanting to take up media ethics,
including the various shifts brought about by "citizen journalism" as
afforded by networked digital media; further, the collection is indeed
exceptional for its inclusion of voices and perspectives not always
represented in English-language work of this sort.

Enjoy!
