Legal and Ethical Issues in the Media by Timothy Dwyer
In a world of proliferating media devices, convergence, mobility and social media usage, diverse cultures and globalised media invite comparative understanding of the legal and ethical issues that now confront media audiences and practitioners. Dwyer explores key frameworks and concepts that will engage and challenge thinking about media practice.
Despite being awash with information, citizens are struggling to stay informed about pressing issues of the dayDwyer's perceptive exploration of our everyday engagements with media institutions striving to redefine what counts as the public interest - where all too often social responsibility gives way to corporate priorities - casts fresh light on a host of important legal and ethical questions. This book is a very welcome contribution to current debates for students and researchers alike-Stuart Allan, Professor of Journalism in the Media School, Bournemouth University
