Edited by Stephen J.A. Ward and
Herman Wasserman

20% Off This volume explores the construction of an ethics for news media
that is global in reach and impact. Essays by international media
ethicists provide leading theoretical perspectives on major issues
and applies the ideas to specific countries, contexts and problems,
addressing such questions as: Are there universal values in
journalism? How would a global media ethics do justice to the
cultural, political, and economic differences around the world? Can a
global ethic based on universal principles allow for diversity of media
systems and cultural values? What should be the principles and
norms of practice of global media ethics? The result is a rich source
of ethical thought and analysis on questions raised by contemporary
global media.
