Description: Understanding Media Ethics, Paperback by Horner, David Sanford, ISBN 1849207887, ISBN-13 9781849207881, Brand New, Free shipping in the US While ethics as a discipline and area of study is generally conceived to be the philosophical study of morality and is the rational discussion of the process of making moral judgements, media ethics is more specifically the philosophical study of morality in the context of media institutions and professional practice, including the ethics of media content. Horner aims to promote an understanding of media ethics--utilizing the kind of moral issues and dilemmas that daily confront media practitioners and policy makers. Th’s concern is with the moral choices made in this context, the values that influence them, notions of moral good and of what constitutes right- and wrong-doing. It is a species of applied ethics akin to medical ethics or business ethics, which have implications for professionals, and which may often be challenged in the courts. Twelve chapters discuss what ought to constitute the ethical commitments of media practitioners though a variety of principles, arguments and cases. The final chapter aims to understand the nature of wrong-doings as something irrational. While most media practitioners are aware of the laws, regulations and codes of practice which govern their profession, the evidence is that wrong-doing is widespread and media scandals are nothing new.
