Dear AoIR friends and colleagues, (with apologies in advance to any of you who experience this as a form of unwanted spam. My reason for sending this to the AoIR list is that the book and its revisions are so deeply indebted to AoIR colleagues, the work of the ethics committee, and conference presentations and discussions that AoIR seems to me the book's first and most natural home.) The second (substantially revised and thoroughly updated) edition of my book, Digital Media Ethics (Polity Press) will come out later this year, I'm very happy to say. I've appended the blurb at the end of this note. In the meantime, however, Polity would like me to develop a list of possible adopters of the book: the possible adopters will then be sent an inspection copy of the book for review. So: if you would like to be included in the list, please send me your indication of interest along with exact contact details - name, address, email address, and phone number - so that Polity can contact you as needed. (You can send these to either my gmail account or UiO account: <c.m.ess@media.uio.no>) Along these lines, if anyone has recommendations for journals that would be interested in reviewing the new book, I would very much appreciate that information as well. Thanks in advance, and best in the meantime, -charles Associate Professor in Media Studies Department of Media and Communication Director, Centre for Research on Media Innovations <http://www.hf.uio.no/imk/english/research/center/media-innovations/> University of Oslo P.O. Box 1093 Blindern NO-0317 Oslo Norway email: c.m.ess@media.uio.no The blurb: The original edition of this accessible and interdisciplinary textbook was the first to consider the ethical issues of digital media from a global perspective, introducing ethical theories from multiple cultures. This second edition has been thoroughly updated to cover current research and scholarship, and recent developments and technological changes, particularly the dominance of Internet access via mobile devices. The new edition also benefits from extensively updated case-studies and pedagogical material, incorporating more recent scholarship as well as examples of ³watershed² events and developments, including privacy policy changes on Facebook, Google+, and others, in relation to on-going changes in privacy law in the U.S., the E.U., and Asia. New for the second edition are sections on friendship online, democratization, and citizen journalism¹ and its implications for traditional journalistic ethics. With a significantly updated section on the ethical toolkit¹, this book will also introduce students to prevailing ethical theories and illustrate how they are applied to central issues in digital media ethics. Topics covered include privacy, copyright, pornography and violence, and the ethics of cross-cultural communication online. Digital Media Ethics is student- and classroom-friendly: each topic and theory is interwoven throughout the volume with detailed sets of questions that foster careful reflection upon, writing about, and discussion of these issues and their possible resolutions. Each chapter includes additional resources and suggestions for further research and writing.
