Description
This book brings onward before the reader a compilation of the different issues which surround media ethics and pragmatism. Journalism ethics give a process by which individual mistakes and excesses are corrected without jeopardizing the final objective of a free media to give a healthy check on the centers of power in order to maintain a free and enlightened society. They also serve to re-acquaint journalists with the purpose behind the formation of the media and journalism, and hopefully instigate better, more insightful journalistic endeavors. Journalists everywhere have a very important role to provide the public with knowledge and understanding. But as they practice their craft in a world that is both technologically and geographically changing, systematic standards must guide their work. Only in that way will journalists serve their society in an ethically responsible and constructive fashion. It is hoped that the astute and the compendious nature of the book serves well for all those concerned in journalism.ISBN: 9789351112143
