Ethics for Journalists

Ethics for Journaliststackles many of the issues which journalists face in their everyday lives-- from the media's supposed obsession with sex, sleaze and sensationalism, to issues of regulation and censorship. Its accessible style and question and answer approach highlights the relevance of ethical issues for everyone involved in journalism, both trainees and professionals, whether working in print, broadcast or new media.

Richard Keeble is director of undergraduate studies in the Journalism Department at City University, London.
