5.0 out of 5 stars excellent choice, October 2, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Media Ethics: Cases and Moral Reasoning (8th Edition) (Paperback)
I got this book for one of my graduate school classes on ethics applied to the communications/media industry. It is well-written and insightful. It stands alone as a great source. Moreover, there are few good books in this particular area of ethics. The introduction provides a nice overview of standard ethical philosophies, which are then applied in a practical way. It's a little "heady", but then again, it's a textbook for me. Still, highly recommended.
