Pitched at just the right depth of detail to provide a big picture contextualization of changing media practices grounded in concerns for democracy and the public good, the book explores and reflects the implications of the convergence of the Fourth and Fifth Estates with an open-access, hyper-linked architecture which invites self-reflective practice on the part of its users” \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePhilip Gordon, \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eUtah Valley University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e2019 PROSE Award Finalist in the Media \u0026amp; Cultural Studies category!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eThe rapid and ongoing evolution of digital technologies has transformed the waythe world communicates and digests information.

Spence reflect upon shifts in media ethics as contemporary mass communication combines traditional analog practices with new forms like blogs, vlogs, podcasts, and social media posts, and evolves into an interactive medium with users who both produce and consume the news. Later chapters apply a process of normative decision-making to some of the most important issues which arise in these interactions, and encourage users to bridge their own thinking between the virtual and physical worlds of information and its communication. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTimely and thought-provoking, \u003ci\u003eEthics for a Digital Era \u003c\/i\u003eis an invaluable resource for undergraduate and graduate students in media and mass communication, applied ethics, and journalism, as well as general readers interested in the ethical impact of their media consumption.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments viii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I: From Analog to Digital News 11\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 A New Paradigm for News 13\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Legacy News Organizations Move from Analog to Digital 37\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Intellectual Property and Information Sharing 64\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Citizen Responsibility in the Digital Era 76\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart II: Thinking Through Ethical Issues in Digital Journalism 89\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 DOIT, A Process for Normative Analysis 91\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Issues in Convergent Journalism 104\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Privacy and Disclosure 116\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Deception in Sourcing and Presentation 136\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Media Corruption 154\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart III: Using the Virtual World to Create a \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eBetter Physical World 171\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 Beyond Ethics: Communicating Wisely 173\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEpilogue: Digital Diversity and Democracy 190\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 197\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Sociology \u0026amp; anthropology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Sociology \u0026amp; anthropology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Sociology%20\u0026amp;%20anthropology%20%5BJH%5D%22\"\u003eJH\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52745260957976,"sku":"9781118974667","price":22.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781118974667.jpg?v=1790076009","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/ethics-for-a-digital-era-paperback-softback-9781118974667","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
