Media Ethics: Cases and Moral Reasoning challenges readers to think
analytically about ethical situations in mass communication through
original case studies and commentaries about real-life media
experiences. This text provides a comprehensive introduction to the
theoretical principles of ethical philosophies, facilitating
ethical awareness. It introduces the Potter Box, with its four
dimensions of moral analysis, to provide a framework for exploring
the steps in moral reasoning and analyzing the cases. Focusing on a
wide spectrum of ethical issues faced by media practitioners, the
cases in this Eleventh Edition include the most recent issues in
journalism, broadcasting, advertising, public relations and
entertainment. Cases touch on issues and places worldwide, from Al
Jazeera to the Xinhua News Agency, from Nigerian "brown envelopes"
to PR professional standards in South Africa. Racially divisive
language comes up in different communication contexts, as does
celebrity influence on culture. A core textbook for classes in
media ethics, communication ethics, and ethics in journalism,
public relations, and advertising. The companion website
https://www.mediaethics11.com/ contains sample syllabi and lesson
plans, PowerPoint presentations, and discussion and test questions.

Focusing on one historic episode per chapter, Ethics for Public
Communication is divided into three parts, each dedicated to one of
the three major functions of the media within democratic societies:
news, persuasion, and entertainment. Authors Clifford Christians,
Mark Fackler, and John Ferre, three trusted scholars in the field,
discuss media ethics from a communicative perspective, setting the
book apart from other texts in the market that simply combine
journalism with libertarian theory. Classic media ethics cases,
like the publication of Rachel Carson's 1962 book SilentSpring, are
covered in tandem with such contemporary cases as the creation of
Al-Jazeera English and the controversy surrounding Ice-T's protest
song, "Cop Killer."
FEATURES
- A new "communitarian" approach to ethics that breaks from other
texts in the discipline
- A focus on classic and current cases that are culturally relevant
today
- A thorough and comprehensive grounding in the theory of media
ethics
- Longer and more universal case studies than those included in
other texts, in order to provide more real-life, ethical dilemmas"

In the past thirty years there has been a sea change in North
American intellectual life regarding the role of religious
commitments in academic endeavors. Driven partly by post-modernism
and the fragmentation of knowledge and partly by the
democratization of the academy in which different voices are
celebrated, the appropriate role that religion should play is
contested. Some academics insist that religion cannot and must not
have a place at the academic table; others insist that religious
values should drive the argument. Faithful Imagination in the
Academy takes an approach based on dialogue with various
viewpoints, claiming neither too much nor too little. All the
authors are seasoned academics with many significant publications
to their credit. While they all know how the academy operates and
how to make worthwhile contributions in their respective
disciplines, they are also Christians whose religious commitments
are reflected in their intellectual work.

This volume brings together sixteen essays on key and intersecting
topics in critical cultural studies from major scholars in the
field. Taking into account the vicissitudes of political, social,
and cultural issues, the contributors engage deeply with the
evolving understanding of critical concepts such as history,
community, culture, identity, politics, ethics, globalization, and
technology. The essays address the extent to which these concepts
have been useful to scholars, policy makers, and citizens, as well
as the ways they must be rethought and reconsidered if they are to
continue to be viable. Each essay considers what is known and
understood about these concepts. The essays give particular
attention to how relevant ideas, themes, and terms were developed,
elaborated, and deployed in the work of James W. Carey, the
"founding father" of cultural studies in the United States. The
contributors map how these important concepts, including Carey's
own work with them, have evolved over time and how these concepts
intersect. The result is a coherent volume that redefines the
still-emerging field of critical cultural studies. Contributors are
Stuart Allan, Jack Zeljko Bratich, Clifford Christians, Norman
Denzin, Mark Fackler, Robert Fortner, Lawrence Grossberg, Joli
Jensen, Steve Jones, John Nerone, Lana Rakow, Quentin J. Schultze,
Linda Steiner, Angharad N. Valdivia, Catherine Warren, Frederick
Wasser, and Barbie Zelizer.
Three experts in media ethics reexamine ethical behaviour in news gathering and reporting. The book combines a wide range of real-life and hypothetical examples of ethical dilemmas in news reporting with a thoughtful critique of the underlying individualistic theories of mainstream media ethics.
