Disrupting Journalism Ethics by Stephen J A Ward

Disrupting Journalism Ethics by Stephen J A Ward

Disrupting Journalism Ethics sets out to disrupt and change how we think about journalism and its ethics. The book contends that long-established ways of thinking, which have come down to us from the history of journalism, need radical conceptual reform, with alternate conceptions of the role of journalism and fresh principles to evaluate

"In the age of big data, disinformation and demagoguery the need for democratically engaged, ethically committed journalists is clear and urgentWith the disruption of long-held journalistic models and practices, comes the need to think about journalism ethics in new and innovative ways. This book rises to the challenge by proposing ways for journalists to move beyond glib claims to facticity and objectivity toward more holistic, open and honest ways to contribute to the goal of human flourishing. Persuasively argued, rooted in careful philosophical reflection and global in its outlook, Disrupting Journalism Ethics is an important addition to current debates about the roles and responsibilities of journalism in a rapidly changing media environment."
