First handbook to examine ethical issues in the media from a
philosophical perspective - competing volumes focus very much on
ethics specifically for journalists and media professionals and do
not take a philosophical perspective Includes chapters on hot
topics such as the ethics of fake news, information bubbles, race,
propaganda, social media etc Examples are global and the Handbook
is divided into divided into five clear sections
How we understand, protect, and discharge our rights and
responsibilities as citizens in a democratic society committed to
the principle of political equality is intimately connected to the
standards and behaviour of our media in general, and our news media
in particular. However, the media does not just stand between the
citizenry and their leaders, or indeed between citizens and each
other. The media is often the site where individuals attempt to
realise some of the most fundamental democratic liberties,
including the right to free speech. Media Ethics, Free Speech, and
the Requirements of Democracy explores the conflict between the
rights that people exercise in, and through, the modern media and
the responsibilities that accrue on account of its awesome and
increasing power. The individual chapters-written by leading
scholars from the US, UK, and Australia-address several recent
events and controversial developments in the media, including
Brexit, the rise of Trump, Lynton Crosby, Charlie Hebdo,
dog-whistle politics, fake news, and political correctness. This
much-needed philosophical treatment is a welcome addition to the
recent literature in media ethics. It will be of interest to
scholars across political and social philosophy, applied ethics,
media and communication studies, and political science who are
interested in the important issues surrounding the media and free
speech and democracy.
