Ethical decision-making in journalism

Organized around the Society of Professional Journalists’ code of ethics, Fred Brown’s edited collection uses case studies to examine how ethical dilemmas arise in professional journalism. The examples span reporting across platforms and include both principled work and cases in which regrettable decisions offer lessons. Together, they provide material for analyzing moral predicaments and reasoning through choices in journalistic practice. The book connects ethical principles with concrete reporting situations, making its structure especially relevant to the study of professional conduct.

Book overview

Closely organized around the Society of Professional Journalists' code of ethics -- the news industry's widely accepted "gold standard" of journalism principles -- this updated edition uses real-life case studies to demonstrate how journalism students and professionals can identify and reason through ethical dilemmas. Stressing the cross-platform viability of basic ethical principles, this study features a wide selection of case studies penned by professional journalists-including several new additions-that offer examples of thoughtful, powerful, and principled reporting. Cases where regrettable decisions have taught important lessons are also included, providing a new template for analyzing moral predicaments.
