[Air-L] Digital Media Ethics, 3rd edition

[Charles M. Ess]

Dear AoIR-ists,

with the usual apologies for self-promotion
- but since this book has grown up alongside AoIR over the past 10 years 
or so, I'm cautiously optimistic that at least some of you - including 
the many AoIRists who are acknowledged as contributing to both the 
earlier editions and now the revised 3rd, as well as innumerable 
colleagues over the years whose conference contributions and 
conversations have informed and made this text far better than it ever 
would have been otherwise - will be pleased and interested.

Digital Media Ethics, 3rd edition, is now available for pre-purchase:

The original edition of this accessible and interdisciplinary textbook 
was the first to consider the ethical issues of digital media from a 
global, cross-cultural perspective.

This third edition has been thoroughly updated to incorporate the latest 
research and developments, including the rise of Big Data, AI, and the 
Internet of Things. The book’s case studies and pedagogical material 
have also been extensively revised and updated to include such watershed 
events as the Snowden revelations, #Gamergate, the Cambridge Analytica 
scandal, privacy policy developments, and the emerging Chinese Social 
Credit System.

New sections include “Death Online,” “Slow/Fair Technology”, and 
material on sexbots. The “ethical toolkit” that introduces prevailing 
ethical theories and their applications to the central issues of 
privacy, copyright, pornography and violence, and the ethics of 
cross-cultural communication online, has likewise been revised and 
expanded. Each topic and theory are interwoven throughout the volume 
with detailed sets of questions, additional resources, and suggestions 
for further research and writing. Together, these enable readers to 
foster careful reflection upon, writing about, and discussion of these 
issues and their possible resolutions.

Retaining its student- and classroom-friendly approach, Digital Media 
Ethics will continue to be the go-to textbook for anyone getting to 
grips with this important topic.

A thousand thanks again to countless AoIRists for your insights, 
contributions, and helpful critiques.

best,
- charles
