Dear AoIRists, Edited by Stephen A.J. Ward, _Global Media Ethics: Problems and Perspectives_ is now out from Wiley-Blackwell: <http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/toc/1405183926/ref=dp_toc?ie=UTF8&n=2662 39>
From the publisher's blurb: Global Media Ethics is the first comprehensive crosscultural exploration of the conceptual and practical issues facing media ethics in a global world. A team of leading journalism experts investigate the impact of major global trends on responsible journalism. The first fulllength, truly global textbook on media ethics Explores how current global changes in media promote and inhibit responsible journalism Includes relevant and timely ethical discussions based on major trends in journalism and global media Questions existing frameworks in Media Ethics in light of the impact of global media Contributors are leading experts in global journalism and communication.
(In the name of full disclosure: yes, I have a chapter in there, on "Global Media Ethics? Issues, Requirements, Challenges, Resolutions".) The book will be of interest to those wanting to take up media ethics, including the various shifts brought about by "citizen journalism" as afforded by networked digital media; further, the collection is indeed exceptional for its inclusion of voices and perspectives not always represented in English-language work of this sort.
