Over the past quarter century, dramatic technological advances in
the production, manipulation, and dissemination of images have
transformed the practices of journalism, entertainment, and
advertising as well as the visual environment itself. From digital
retouching to wholesale deception, the media world is now beset by
an unprecedented range of moral, ethical, legal, and professional
challenges. Image Ethics in the Digital Age brings together leading
experts in the fields of journalism, media studies, and law to
address these challenges and assess their implications for personal
and societal values and behavior. Among the issues raised are the
threat to journalistic integrity posed by visual editing software;
the monopolization of image archives by a handful of corporations
and its impact on copyright and fair use laws; the instantaneous
electronic distribution of images of dubious provenance around the
world; the erosion of privacy and civility under the onslaught of
sensationalistic twenty-four-hour television news coverage and
entertainment programming; and the increasingly widespread use of
surveillance cameras in public spaces. This volume of original
essays is vital reading for anyone concerned with the influence of
the mass media in the digital age. Contributors: Howard S. Becker;

Anemia is common among patients with heart failure. The degree of
anemia in patients with heart failure after acute myocardial
infarction is associated with a poor prognosis, and anemia in
patients with chronic heart failure from any cause has repeatedly
been shown to predict a poor outcome.? Heart failure specialists
believe that correction of reduced hemoglobin should be studied
further to see whether it can help in the management of this
serious chronic disease.? This issue brings together all of the
most current information about the relationship of anemia to heart
failure and the role of anemia treatment in management of heart
failure.
This pathbreaking collection of thirteen original essays examines
the moral rights of the subjects of documentary film, photography,
and television. Image makers--photographers and filmmakers--are
coming under increasing criticism for presenting images of people
that are considered intrusive and embarrassing to the subject.
Portraying subjects in a "false light," appropriating their images,
and failing to secure "informed consent" are all practices that
intensify the debate between advocates of the right to privacy and
the public's right to know. Discussing these questions from a
variety of perspectives, the authors here explore such issues as
informed consent, the "right" of individuals and minority groups to
be represented fairly and accurately, the right of individuals to
profit from their own image, and the peculiar moral obligations of
minorities who image themselves and the producers of
autobiographical documentaries. The book includes a series of
provocative case studies on: the documentaries of Frederick
Wiseman, particularly Titicut Follies; British documentaries of the
1930s; the libel suit of General Westmoreland against CBS News; the
film Witness and its portrayal of the Amish; the film The Gods Must
be Crazy and its portrayal of the San people of southern Africa;
and the treatment of Arabs and gays on television. The first book
to explore the moral issues peculiar to the production of visual
images, Image Ethics will interest a wide range of general readers
and students and specialists in film and television production,
photography, communications, media, and the social sciences.
