    Description

    Dynamic, rapid, and radical changes are transforming the communication professions, provoking major implications for ethics. Traditional boundaries blur as media converge; relentless competitive pressures cause some forms of communication to atrophy and permit others to explode; and technological advances occur daily. In this volume, a new generation of scholars takes a fresh look at the manner in which ethical issues manifest themselves in their areas of research and suggests new agendas for future research.

    Addressing such questions as how to define a journalist in an era when anyone can disseminate information to a global audience, and how the Constitutional guarantee of a free press works in the Internet age, this volume will be critical reading for scholars and professionals in media, communication, and digital arts, as well as philosophy, government, public policy, business, and law.
