The ethics of journalism is one of the most well-defined branches of media ethics, primarily because it is frequently taught in schools of journalism. Journalistic ethics tends to dominate media ethics, sometimes almost to the exclusion of other areas. In democratic countries, a special relationship exists between media and government. Although the freedom of the media may be constitutionally enshrined and have precise legal definition and enforcement, the exercise of that freedom by individual journalists is a matter of personal choice and ethics. Modern democratic government subsists in representation of millions by hundreds. Designed for students and professionals of journalism and mass communication, this book analyses various laws and ethical issues of journalism. Contents: Legal History of the Press *; Freedom of the Press *; Press and Registration of Books Act in 1867 *; The Press (Objectionable Matters) Act, 1951 *; Media Accountability *; Intercultural Dimensions of Media Ethics *; Regulation and Ethics in Broadcast Media *; State and Media Accountability System *; Indian Cyber Laws *; Norms of Journalistic Conduct and Press Council of India.
