Медіяетика: практичні поради та моральні міркування

by Clifford G. Christians, Mark Fackler, Kathy Brittain Richardson

Колективна праця американських дослідників «Медіяетика: практичні випадки та моральні міркування» є зразком блискучого поєднання теорії і практики, де етика і мораль постають як ключові засади праці журналіста. У США цей посібник перевидавався вісім разів. Його головна мета – розвинути аналітичні навички та покращити компетентність у галузі етики сучасних засобів суспільної комунікації. Автори добрали широкий спектр ситуацій, що трапляються в роботі журналістів. На основі відомої в соціяльній етиці моделі «Поттерової скриньки» представлено чотири аспекти морального аналізу: ви значення, прихильності, цінності та принципи, що застосовуються для розгляду випадків, де виникає найбільше непорозумінь. Відповідно, у книжці є чотири частини, що відображають основні функції масмедій: повідомлення, переконування, трактування і розважання.

Посібник призначений для студентів, аспірантів, викладачів у галузях журналістики і медіякомунікацій, а також для про фесіоналів-медійників.

Reviews

[Carolyn · Rating 4 out of 5]

As far as text books go, on media ethics no less, this one was quite informative yet storytelling in quality. The case studies were relevant and led to great discussions. I mean, if you gotta read a book on ethics, it's nice for it to be a little entertaining!

A very accessible and easy to read book with some fantastic real word case studies.

Good information, but I found it boring. Guess ethics just isn't my thing.
