E-grāmata: Communication and Media Ethics

"Ethics in communication and media has arguably reached a pivotal stage of maturity in the last decade, moving from disparate lines of inquiry to a theory-driven, interdisciplinary field presenting normative frameworks and philosophical explications for communicative practices. The intent of this volume is to present this maturation, to reflect the vibrant state of ethics theorizing and to illuminate promising pathways for future research"--

Ethics in communication and media has arguably reached a pivotal stage of maturity in the last decade, moving from disparate lines of inquiry to a theory-driven, interdisciplinary field presenting normative frameworks and philosophical explications for communicative practices. The intent of this volume is to present this maturation, to reflect the vibrant state of ethics theorizing and to illuminate promising pathways for future research.

The Handbooks of Communication Science integrate knowledge of communication structures and processes. The series is also dedicated to investigating cultural and epistemological diversity, covering work originating from around the globe and often applying very different scholarly approaches.

The series covers the following topics:

• Theories and Models of Communication (introductory volume)
• Messages, Codes and Channels: e.g., non-verbal, verbal, and visual communication, communication and technology
• Mode of Address, Communicative Situations and Contexts: e.g., narrowcasting (interpersonal communication), broadcasting (mass communication), organizational communication
• Methodologies: e.g., research logic, content and text analysis, research methods
• Application Areas: e.g., marketing communications, public relations, communication laws and policies, health communication, intercultural communication, science communication, political communication, journalism, entertainment
• The Future of Communication Science (concluding volume)

The series aims at meeting the needs of undergraduates, postgraduates, academics and researchers across the communication sciences, as well as people interested in communication and its processes, such as politicians, PR managers and journalists. Ultimately, the Handbooks of Communication Science are a comprehensive summation of the field in the early decades of the 21^st century.

This handbooks series aims to integrate knowledge of communication structures and processes. It is global in orientation, dedicated to cultural and epistemological diversity as well as different scholarly approaches. The series features volumes on 'messages, codes and channels', 'mode of address: communication situations and context', 'methodology in communication science' and 'application areas'. The latter features volumes devoted to a large range of specialist areas of communication science. The series as a whole aims at meeting the needs of undergraduates, postgraduates, academics and researchers across the area of communication studies.
