Groping for Ethics in Journalism
by Ron F. Smith
Uses hundreds of examples from newsrooms large and small to challenge readers to think about how they would face moral dilemmas on the job in journalism. Discussion touches on themes of truth and objectivity, faking the news, reporters and their sources, privacy, the business of news, and journalists and their communities. New to this edition are a chapter on improving coverage of minorities, expanded discussion of broadcast journalism, reporting on the Internet, and stories from recent newspapers and TV news programs. The author is a professor of journalism at the University of Central Florida. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
