This book, more than any other media ethics textbook currently available, treats students as the intellectually curious, philosophically aware, and ethically motivated individuals that we hope them to be. As one brings one's own wisdom to the reading with the understanding that there is more to learn, this is one of those rare books that has the potential to keep on giving to professors and to students., This book, more than any other media ethics textbook currently available, treats students as the intellectually curious, philosophically aware, and ethically motivated individuals that we hope them to be.

Synopsis
Making ethics accessible and applicable to media practice, Media Ethics: Key Principles for Responsible Practiceexplains key ethical principles and their application in print and broadcast journalism, public relations, advertising, and media-based marketing. Unlike application-oriented case books, this text sets forth the philosophical underpinnings of key principles and explains how each should guide responsible media behavior. It avoids moralizing and instead emphasizes the deliberative nature of ethics, inviting students to grapple with ethical dilemmas on their own and presenting ethical theory in a way designed to enrich classroom discussion. Author Patrick Lee Plaisance synthesizes classical and contemporary ethics in an accessible way to help students ask the right questions and develop their critical reasoning skills, both as media consumers and media professionals of the future. Key Features Provides students with a much-needed foundation in ethical theory, offering solid coverage of the ethical principles important to the decisions of media professionals and the judgments of media consumers Devotes chapter-length coverage to central philosophical principles widely referred to in the media ethics literature and in professional codes of ethics-- transparency, autonomy, privacy, harm, community, and justice--and places them in the context of media practice Includes more than three dozen relevant, up-to-date media cases and examples (such as the use of sex in advertising and policies for journalists covering suicide stories) that illustrate the relevance of key principles to the work of journalism, public relations, and advertising Presents the innovative MERITS (Multidimensional Ethical Reasoning and Inquiry Task Sheet) model to help students apply the books six key principles to ethical issues Synthesizes theories from a wide range of disciplines, including mass communication research on media sociology and audience effects, as well as philosophy and sociology Applies ethics theory to the online world to illustrate that ethical values dont change with the medium, nor should they be driven by technology Media Ethics: Key Principles for Responsible Practice is ideal for use as a core text in courses such as Media Ethics, Critical Perspectives on Media, Media Studies, Journalism Ethics, and Communication Ethics in departments of journalism, mass communication, media studies, communication studies, and public communication., Making ethics accessible and applicable to media practice, Media Ethics: Key Principles for Responsible Practice explains key ethical principles and their application in print and broadcast journalism, public relations, advertising, and media-based marketing. Unlike application-oriented case books, this text sets forth the philosophical underpinnings of key principles and explains how each should guide responsible media behavior.

Author Patrick Lee Plaisance synthesizes classical and contemporary ethics in an accessible way to help students ask the right questions and develop their critical reasoning skills, both as media consumers and media professionals of the future., Media Ethics is an accessible yet philosophically grounded volume explaining key ethical principles and their application in print and broadcast journalism, public relations, and marketing.

    Item was shipped quickly and packaged well. Item was exactly as described, brand new and it was even sealed. The seller also messaged me as soon as the purchase went through so communication was great. This was the last book in the series that I needed and to be able to find it in such great condition and at a great cost was unexpected. Highly recommend this seller and will definitely buy from again in the future.
