"Gene Foreman seamlessly mixes theory, applied rules and powerful case studies in ways that are both relevant and easily understandable. And the new edition smartly incorporates ethical dilemmas facing journalists in the digital age." Christopher Callahan, Dean and Professor, Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication, Arizona State University "Gene Foreman is a revered American editor who has long been a standard-bearer for ethics in journalism. In this book he uses both practical and philosophical approaches to relate time-tested core values to the digital age. I can't think of anyone better suited to help contemporary journalists and students of the profession set their compasses as they navigate a torrent of change." Diane McFarlin, Dean, College of Journalism and Communications, University of Florida Praise for the first edition "The Ethical Journalist is a powerful and accessible teaching tool for both teacher and student. Beyond its practical application in the classroom, the fundamental value of the case studies and website is the critical conversations it will generate to influence an entire career." Arlene Morgan, Assistant Dean for External Affairs,Temple University School of Media and Communication "The book is superb - the definitive work on journalism ethics and practices. It should be a basic text in every school of journalism." Gene Roberts, former executive editor of The Philadelphia Inquirer, former managing editor of The New York Times, former professor, University of Maryland "Gene Foreman practiced and championed high ethical standards in newsrooms for decades. He's now written a clear, compelling text on journalism ethics. It's practical, principled and powerful." Robert M. Steele, Director of The Janet Prindle Institute for Ethics, DePauw University "At a time when the Internet has turned journalism inside out and blown up long-held traditions, the need for media ethics is even more critical. This is the book to help guide students and the rest of us through the revolution." Alicia C. Shepard, former NPR Ombudsman
