Rezensionen / Stimmen
"This book defines, analyzes, and researches the use of ethics in journalism from the historical and modern aspects. The format is very well presented. A very useful reference work, this entry in the Contemporary Ethical Issues series would be well received in a collection and/or curriculum that deals with ethical issues. Recommended." - The Book Report
