This book teaches students how to make the difficult ethical
decisions that journalists routinely face. By taking a case-based
approach, the authors argue that the best way to make an ethical
decision is to look closely at a particular situation, rather than
looking first to an abstract set of ethical theories or principles.
This book goes beyond the traditional approaches of many other
journalism textbooks by using cases as the starting point for
building ethical practices. Casuistry, the technical name of such a
method, develops provisional guidelines from the bottom up by
reasoning analogically from an "easy" ethical case (the "paradigm")
to "harder" ethical cases. Thoroughly grounded in actual
experience, this method admits more nuanced judgments than most
theoretical approaches.
