Reviews for Journalism Ethics and Regulation

One of the many strengths of this book is its completeness and its author‘s capacity to summarise the majority of relevant aspects on journalism ethics [...] I would like to hear more about the ‘Experience abroad’ chapter, as I think that a transcontinental comparison is essential...to understand other contexts quite distant from the glamorous representations of Journalism in UK, US and Europe [...] I believe this is the most complete text in journalism ethics to date. – Dr Eddy Borges-Rey, University of Stirling, UK Admirably comprehensive [...] There are, of course, other books on media ethics, but these are either global in scope or concentrate on the US. – Julian Petley, Brunel University, UK The new additions, particularly in terms of case studies are completely apt – this is going to be a real challenge with things unpacking as the updates are done but I suspect if anyone can do this well and with clarity it is this author [...] Some more examples from newspapers/magazines etc… I appreciate it would make the book a lot bigger but it is a ‘practical’ journalism book so seeing things in the flesh as it were would be very helpful. – Paula Hearsum, Senior Lecturer, University of Brighton, UK Breakout case studies or more examples of good and bad practice from various media platforms where ethical theories and concepts are applied to given situations would assist students in understanding of key issues, especially the more theoretical aspects. – Dr Sallyanne Duncan, University of Strathclyde, UK
