Studies of global media and journalism have repeatedly returned to
discussions of ethics. This book highlights the difficulty that
journalists encounter when establishing appropriate ethical
practices and marks the pressing importance of global media ethics
as a subject of current debate. A wide range of contributors - both
scholars and practitioners of journalism - identify how changes in
journalism practice, developments in new media technologies, legal
regulations, and shifting patterns of ownership all play a role in
creating ethical tensions for journalists, with some chapters in
the book suggesting practical solutions to this pertinent issue.
The growing need to faithfully represent other diverse cultural
groups is also considered, with certain chapters discussing the
impact that human rights, freedom and justice have upon
journalistic decision making. Explorations in Global Media Ethics
recognises that, with the escalation of globalisation and a public
striving for honest quality media, journalists around the world
face an increasing pressure to comply with and simultaneously
satisfy diverse ethical practices at both a local and a more global
level. The book sympathises with the position of the journalist and
calls for greater consideration of his ambiguous role. This book
was originally published as a special issue of Journalism Studies.
