Trends prevailing in the media suggest a seemingly disintegrating
concept of media ethics. It is no surprise; being ethical is hard
work and, could very well put a person in conflict with prevailing
trends. Many of the people cited within the 13 essays of
Desperately Seeking Ethics illustrate this_from Socrates and Martin
Luther King Jr., who both died for their principles, to reporter
David Kidwell of the Miami Herald who chose jail over testifying
for the prosecution in a murder trial. This is not just another
media ethics book. Engaging and non-conventional it breaks away
from the usual text practice of presenting the ethical theories of
well-known philosophers in watered-down form. Instead, the
contributors, all of whom teach media ethics, select a poem, movie,
song, speech, or other cultural document, analyze it for implied or
explicit ethical lessons, and then apply the lessons of that work
to a specific case that involved controversial media conduct. In
addition to endnotes, each chapter contains questions for
discussion and a list of further readings. Where possible, the
contributors have included all or part of the poems, speeches, and
other documents they analyze as sources of ethical instruction and
inspiration.
