Media Ethics includes a chapter by Martin Bell on responsible journalism and war reporting in Bosnia. They discuss the relationship between journalism and public relations, war reporting and military propaganda in the Gulf War, media portrayals of sex and violence, photojournalism and the tabloid press. The contributors explore issues of impartiality and objectivity, the ethics of political journalism, the regulation of privacy and media intrusion, and the justification of censorship. Media Ethics brings together philosophers, academics and media professionals to discuss the pressing ethical and moral questions faced by journalists and the media and to examine the basic notions such as truth, virtue, privacy, rights, offence, harm and freedom, underlying them. Should journalists be impartial and objective? How should the public’s right to know be balanced against an individual’s right to privacy? How should the media be regulated? Is there a justification for spin-doctors and chequebook journalism? The role and responsibilities of the media are constant subjects of public debate.
