About this title

About the Author:

Review:

Whether used as a whole, by chapter, by movie, or by topic, Journalism Ethics Goes to the Movies follows its predecessor as an insightful examination of current media ethics issues and a valuable teaching tool for lectures or class discussions. (Journal of Media Ethics)

The ideal journalist! The rogue reporter! This lively book on the presentation of journalism in film has it all. The list of contributors has as much star-quality as the movies discussed, with expert ethics educators telling readers which movies they'll be showing in their classes this term and why. This book deserves space on the shelf of every scholar who thinks seriously about journalism ethics or about the presentation of journalism in popular culture. (Deni Elliott, University of South Florida, St. Petersburg)
