The Ethical Journalist

This third edition of The Ethical Journalist is a comprehensive examination of current issues in the field of journalism ethics, researched and written by four journalists with experience in both the newsroom and the classroom. It gives students and professionals the tools they need to navigate the challenges of twenty-first-century journalism, first explaining the importance of ethics in journalism and then putting a decision-making strategy to work in areas in which ethics questions most often arise. The text is supplemented by real-life case studies and thoughtful essays, and a companion website provides links to supplemental readings, videos, additional case studies, and other resources.
