The reputation of journalists is continually being questioned.
Nearly every public opinion poll shows that people have lost
respect for journalists and lost faith in the news media. In this
fully updated and expanded 6th edition of Ethics in
Journalism, author Ron F. Smith provides a highly readable
introduction to journalism ethics, and offers solutions for the
many ethical dilemmas facing journalists today.
* Utilizes dozens of new case studies, mostly taken from everyday
experiences of reporters at both large and smaller newspapers and
TV stations
* Explores the practical ethical issues involved in developing
sources, coming to terms with objectivity, and bringing compassion
to the pressures of journalism
* Considers the impact of blogs and the internet on traditional
values of journalism
* Compares journalistic practices across different free
societies
