Managing Television News provides a practical introduction to the
television news producer, one of the most significant and
influential roles in a newscast. Recognizing the need for formal
training in this key role, authors B. William Silcock, Don Heider,
and Mary T. Rogus have combined their expertise and experience to
shape this essential resource on the responsibilities, demands, and
rewards of the news producer position. Their book provides a
strategic approach to producing newscasts and serves as an in-depth
guide to creating quality, audience-friendly newscasts working
within the realistic limitations of most newsrooms. It helps the
student and the professional producer sort through the various
deadline-driven challenges of creating a 30-minute newscast. Filled
with real-world examples and advice from news directors, producers,
and anchors currently in the business, and photographs illustrating
the varied perspectives in the position, Managing Television News
provides critical skill sets to help resolve ethical dilemmas, as
well as keen and fresh insights on how to win the ratings without
compromising news quality. Career concerns are also addressed. This
resource is a pioneering book for the professional television
newsroom and the individual reader interested in starting or
expanding a producing career. It is an excellent text for the
college classroom, as its structure fits neatly into a semester
schedule, and it is a must-have resource for both seasoned and
novice producers, as well as students in broadcast news.

Is TV news racist? If the purpose of local news is to cover
individual communities and to present issues of interest and
concern to local audiences, why are local newscasts so similar in
markets around the country? These are the questions that motivated
Heider's research, leading to the development of this book.
Recognizing that local news is the outlet through which most people
get their news, Heider ventured into the local television newsrooms
in two moderate-size, culturally diverse U.S. markets to observe
the news process. In this report, he uses his insider's perspective
to examine why local television news coverage of people of color
does not occur in more meaningful ways.
Heider examines the perceptions of racism and ethnicity, and
addresses such dichotomies as "white" news (content determined by
white managers) being delivered by non-white news anchors, thus
giving the appearance of "non-white" news. He also considers how
coverage of minorities influences viewers' perceptions of their
minority neighbors. Heider then sets forth a new theoretical
concept--incognizant racism--as a way of explaining how news
workers consistently ignore news in significant portions of the
communities they cover.
This contribution to the minorities and media discussion provides
important insights into the newsroom decision-making process and
the sociology and structure of newsrooms. It is required reading
for all who are involved in news reporting, mass communication,
media and minority studies, and cultural issues in today's
society.

The second volume of Ethics for a Digital Age contains a selection
of research presented at the fifth and sixth Annual International
Symposia on Digital Ethics hosted by the Center for Digital Ethics
and Policy at Loyola University Chicago's School of Communication.
Thematically organized around the most pressing ethical issues of
the digital age from a professional (parts one and two) and a
philosophical perspective (part three), the chapters of this volume
offer the reader a window into some of the hot-button ethical
issues facing a society where digital has become the new normal.
Just as was the case in the first volume, this collection attempts
to bridge applied and theoretical approaches to digital ethics. The
case studies in this work are grounded in theory and the
theoretical pieces are linked back to specific cases, reflecting
the multi-methodological and multi-disciplinarian approach espoused
by Loyola's Center of Digital Ethics and Policy during its eight
years of existence. With contributions by experts from a variety of
academic disciplines, this work will appeal to philosophers,
communication scientists, and moral philosophers alike.
Thematically organized around three of the most pressing ethical
issues of the digital age (shifting of professional norms,
moderating offensive content, and privacy), this volume offers a
window into some of the hot-button ethical issues facing a society
where digital has become the new normal. Straddling an applied
ethical and theoretical approach, the research represented not only
reflects on how our ethical frameworks have been changed and
challenged by digital technology, but also provides insights for
those confronted with specific ethical dilemmas related to digital
technology. With contributions from established experts and
up-and-coming scholars alike, this book cuts across disciplines and
with appeal to communication scholars, philosophers, and anyone
with an interest in ethics and technology.

In a digital age of perceived anonymity and diminishing
face-to-face contact what does it mean to be true to thyself? Has
the internet given us license to be false to others, without
consequence? Technology has given us capabilities we previously did
not have and changed the way we think about time and space.
Although research is now being done on many aspects of the
interplay between humans and technology, there currently exists a
vacuum regarding behavior and usage of technology. This edited
volume contains some of the best research on digital ethics from
authors in communication, law, information studies, education,
philosophy, political science, computer science, and business on
topics that range from sexting to piracy. This groundbreaking
volume contributes to the growing body of knowledge in this area
and provides a much-needed resource for scholars and teachers
interested in exploring ethics in this new digital world.
