Focusing on one historic episode per chapter, Ethics for Public
Communication is divided into three parts, each dedicated to one of
the three major functions of the media within democratic societies:
news, persuasion, and entertainment. Authors Clifford Christians,
Mark Fackler, and John Ferre, three trusted scholars in the field,
discuss media ethics from a communicative perspective, setting the
book apart from other texts in the market that simply combine
journalism with libertarian theory. Classic media ethics cases,
like the publication of Rachel Carson's 1962 book SilentSpring, are
covered in tandem with such contemporary cases as the creation of
Al-Jazeera English and the controversy surrounding Ice-T's protest
song, "Cop Killer."
FEATURES
- A new "communitarian" approach to ethics that breaks from other
texts in the discipline
- A focus on classic and current cases that are culturally relevant
today
- A thorough and comprehensive grounding in the theory of media
ethics
- Longer and more universal case studies than those included in
other texts, in order to provide more real-life, ethical dilemmas"
