Dear AoIR-ists, with the usual apologies for self-promotion - but since this book has grown up alongside AoIR over the past 10 years or so, I'm cautiously optimistic that at least some of you - including the many AoIRists who are acknowledged as contributing to both the earlier editions and now the revised 3rd, as well as innumerable colleagues over the years whose conference contributions and conversations have informed and made this text far better than it ever would have been otherwise - will be pleased and interested. == Digital Media Ethics, 3rd edition, is now available for pre-purchase: <http://politybooks.com/bookdetail/?isbn=9781509533428> The original edition of this accessible and interdisciplinary textbook was the first to consider the ethical issues of digital media from a global, cross-cultural perspective. This third edition has been thoroughly updated to incorporate the latest research and developments, including the rise of Big Data, AI, and the Internet of Things. The book’s case studies and pedagogical material have also been extensively revised and updated to include such watershed events as the Snowden revelations, #Gamergate, the Cambridge Analytica scandal, privacy policy developments, and the emerging Chinese Social Credit System. New sections include “Death Online,” “Slow/Fair Technology”, and material on sexbots. The “ethical toolkit” that introduces prevailing ethical theories and their applications to the central issues of privacy, copyright, pornography and violence, and the ethics of cross-cultural communication online, has likewise been revised and expanded. Each topic and theory are interwoven throughout the volume with detailed sets of questions, additional resources, and suggestions for further research and writing. Together, these enable readers to foster careful reflection upon, writing about, and discussion of these issues and their possible resolutions. Retaining its student- and classroom-friendly approach, Digital Media Ethics will continue to be the go-to textbook for anyone getting to grips with this important topic. == A thousand thanks again to countless AoIRists for your insights, contributions, and helpful critiques. best, - charles -- Professor in Media Studies Department of Media and Communication University of Oslo <http://www.hf.uio.no/imk/english/people/aca/charlees/index.html> Co-chair & Editor, Internet Research Ethics 3.0 <https://aoir.org/reports/ethics3.pdf> Digital Media Ethics, 3rd edition, is now available from Polity: http://politybooks.com/bookdetail/?isbn=9781509533428 Postboks 1093 Blindern 0317 Oslo, Norway c.m.ess@media.uio.no
