Description
Closely organized around the Society of Professional Journalists’ code of ethics—the news industry’s widely accepted “gold standard” of journalism principles—this updated edition features a wide selection of case studies penned by professional journalists—including several new additions—that offer examples of thoughtful, powerful, and principled reporting. Cases where regrettable decisions have taught important lessons are also included, providing a new template for analyzing moral predicaments. This revised edition includes chapters such as “Ethics and the Law,” “Conflicts of Interest,” “Privacy,” and “Source/Reporter Relationships.” Describing the basic connection between ethical journalism and excellent journalism, this is a lively, succinct, and accessible discussion of how this type of reporting can be morally upheld in the present day, regardless of medium or platform.
