Description<br />
Media Ethics Beyond Borders explores<br />
the construction of an ethics for<br />
news media that is global in reach<br />
and impact. Urgent global issues and<br />
the power of global communications<br />
point to the need for a media ethics<br />
without borders – a media ethics<br />
that is global in its principles and in<br />
its understanding. This collection<br />
of essays by international media<br />
ethicists provides leading theoretical<br />
perspectives and applies the ideas<br />
to specific countries, contexts and<br />
problems. The result is a rich source<br />
of ethical thought on questions raised<br />
by contemporary global media. Media<br />
