A NEW chapter, Ethics in Cyberspace, introduces students to the controversial issues surrounding electronic media.

Forty-eight cases from 36 academicians and professionals in the media encourage students to actively wrestle with a variety of ethical issues

Educational, yet interesting...
3 April 2001
Most books on ethics and laws are boring. And those that aren't boring usually lean towards not giving any practical information. This book, however, is different.
Each chapter has information to explain a specific ethical question, then a real-life example of how that question might come about, then more questions to stimulate responses. I had the honor of being in a Media Ethics class taught by the author, and our discussions were always A) in depth B) heated C) helpful.
If you are considering becoming a journalist, photographer, tv personality or any other sower of information, read this book. It will help you to formulate your opinions now, instead of being stuck in an ethical no-win situation later.
Read it.
