Communication Ethics Today

This book is a search for truth. There are a number of crucial issues in communication ethics today, but certainly a believable concept of truth is indispensable. As the norm of justice is to politics and stewardship to business, so truth-telling sets the standard in communications. Truth is communication's master principle, and the writers here demand it for themselves, and from the media professionals and academics their chapters represent. Rather than the news media lurching along from one crisis to another with an empty centre, the authors of this book seek for credible variations on truth. These chapters en masse promote truth-telling as the over-arching ethical framework for understanding the media's mission and practice. Rather than merely identifying the issue of truth as important for twenty-first century professional ethics, truth and its nuances are elaborated in terms of communication institutions, technologies, regulation, theory, and practices.Keeble, Richard is the author of 'Communication Ethics Today' with ISBN 9781905237685 and ISBN 1905237685.
