This volume responds to the challenges posed by the rapid
developments in satellite TV and digital technologies, addressing
media ethics from a global perspective to discuss how we can
understand journalism practice in its cultural contexts. An
international team of contributors draw upon global and non-Western
traditions to discuss the philosophical origins of ethics and the
tension that exists between media institutions, the media market
and political/ideological influencers. The chapters then unveil the
discrepancies among international journalists in abiding by the
ethics of the profession and the extent to which media ethics are
understood and applied in their local context/environment. Arguing
that the legitimacy of ethics comes not from the definition per se,
but from the extent to which it leads to social good, the book
posits this should be the media's raison d'etre to abide by
globally accepted ethical norms in order to serve the common good.
Taking a truly global approach to the question of media ethics,
this volume will be an important resource for scholars and students
of journalism, communication studies, media studies, sociology,
politics and cultural studies.
