From the blaming of Princess Diana's death on news photographers to
the public apology by CNN over its erroneous Vietnam-nerve-gas
story, journalism and the American media in general are being
placed under the microscope. The media-now more powerful than ever
before due to computer advances, cable television, and the
internet-controls our opinions, tastes, and, as some would have us
believe, our actions.
But has the media shed its ethics and gotten completely out of
control? Has the quest to get the big scoop crippled the news media
into believing "first" is better than factual? To whom is the media
responsible-the public, the stockholders, the advertisers? Who
decides what may "harm" an audience or what is unsuitable for
children? Who, if anyone, should regulate the media? How do
political agendas play into censorship (the FCC) and funding of the
media?
These questions and more are probed in The Media and Morality, a
wide-ranging selection of important essays that explores
relationships between the media and its diverse audiences, its
sponsors, stockholders, governments, and others. The authors
attempt to define the obligations of the media in these
relationships as well as the risks, benefits, and limits.
In addition to providing up-to-date commentary and opinion on the
latest controversial and precedent-setting journalistic
developments, this book will help readers toward an ethical
analysis of the media in the Information Age.
