This unique study is the first to focus specifically on political
communication ethics. Denton has brought together a group of works
that address ethical concerns related to political communication,
including political culture, campaigns, media, advertising,
ghostwriting, discourse, politicians, and new technologies. All of
the contributors raise a number of salient questions and discuss
various methods, criteria, and issues for exploring and addressing
ethical concerns. These ten chapters cover a range of topics that
include the ethics of popular culture, political advocacy, ethics
and morality in American presidential campaigns, virtue and
character, the role of television in modern politics, the ethical
implications of ghostwriting, polls and computer technology, and
narrative form in political news. The central theme that emerges
from these varied contributions is that we cannot depend on
politicians, their handlers, or the media to correct real or
perceived problems of ethics in American politics and that the
greatest threat to democracy is neglect of the public forum. In
analyzing the weak ethical links in the American political process,
the authors call for a return to civic culture based on
communication and persuasion, active citizen participation, and a
high level of information. This work will be an important new
resource for courses in political and mass communication, political
ethics, and political science, as well as for students of sociology
and American studies.
