Journalism, Ethics and Society

"Journalism, Ethics and Society provides a comprehensive overview and critical analysis of debates within media ethics in relation to the purpose of news and journalism for society. It assesses how the meaning of news and journalism is central to a discourse in ethics and further evaluates the continuing role of liberalism in helping to define both theory and practice." "A timely and topical book, providing new ways of thinking about media ethics, Journalism, Ethics and Society will be of interest to students and researchers working within the field of media, cultural studies and journalism, as well as to scholars of philosophy."--BOOK JACKET.
