Media Ethics is a diverse, classroom tested compilation of 60 diverse cases that will help students prepare for the ethical situations they will confront in their media careers. Ninety percent of the cases are based on actual events, and authors from many institutions and media outlets contributed both real-life and hypothetical cases. There is a strong focus on ethical theory and practice throughout the book, which works well as both a main text in a media ethics course, and in an "across the curriculum" approach in other media courses.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Good ethics textbook
    Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2014

    Great for media ethics training. We had this as our textbook last term and I liked it a lot. There were some copy editing and spelling errors here and there (ie Who's Facebook is it, anyway?") , so a good editor needs to go over this next time it's printed. And it was tough to find the online-only stories. Re-do the web site for this book. Otherwise, a good read and it kept the attention of a pretty restive group of students.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good for a textbook
    Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    This was required reading for a communications ethics class. It read well and was even fairly interesting, which is something a lot of textbooks can't claim. The cast studies at the end of each chapter had a lot of variety. All in all, this isn't something I'd read for general interest, but it didn't put me to sleep like many other textbooks have.
