Over the past quarter century, dramatic technological advances in
the production, manipulation, and dissemination of images have
transformed the practices of journalism, entertainment, and
advertising as well as the visual environment itself. From digital
retouching to wholesale deception, the media world is now beset by
an unprecedented range of moral, ethical, legal, and professional
challenges. Image Ethics in the Digital Age brings together leading
experts in the fields of journalism, media studies, and law to
address these challenges and assess their implications for personal
and societal values and behavior. Among the issues raised are the
threat to journalistic integrity posed by visual editing software;
the monopolization of image archives by a handful of corporations
and its impact on copyright and fair use laws; the instantaneous
electronic distribution of images of dubious provenance around the
world; the erosion of privacy and civility under the onslaught of
sensationalistic twenty-four-hour television news coverage and
entertainment programming; and the increasingly widespread use of
surveillance cameras in public spaces. This volume of original
essays is vital reading for anyone concerned with the influence of
the mass media in the digital age. Contributors: Howard S. Becker;
