Lies, Damn Lies and Documentaries by Brian Winston
Despite its centrality to the daily lives of a variety of journalists, the topic of ethics is relatively unexplored. This work provides a comprehensive treatment of the subject. The book looks at crisis of confidence in public service broadcasting and the controversy surrounding docusoaps to provide a foundational study of ethics and the documentary.
