Ethics and the commodification of journalism -- Journalism as practice -- The tradition of journalism -- A theory of journalism -- Practice-sustaining virtues -- The practice's role as a moral community -- Professionalism and the practice -- A common cause.
Borden (Western Michigan U.) uses examples from the modern media to confront current ethical standards in journalism, and how the international demand for higher standards transcend personal opinions and beliefs. This book, which is part of the Ashgate Studies in Applied Ethics series, looks at ethics in journalism from a philosophical, historical and legal perspective. Aimed equally at students of media, journalism and philosophy, this volume also looks at the growing influence of the Internet, and how media has become part of the corporate landscape.
