- Kurztext
- This groundbreaking handbook provides a comprehensive picture of the ethical dimensions of communication in a global setting. Bringing together scholars from around the world, it examines ethical issues raised by globalization, the practice of journalism, popular culture, and media activities, and provides most detailed and diverse set of essays available on this huge topic that has ever been assembled. The handbook includes examinations of feminism, ideology, social responsibility, reporting, metanarratives, blasphemy, development, and glocalism, among many others. In addition, the volume includes case studies on reporting, censorship, responsibility, terrorism, disenfranchisement, and guilt (again, among others) throughout many countries and regions worldwide. the handbook includes contributions by several Islamic scholars who discuss various facets of that religion's engagement with the public sphere, and others who deal with some of the religious and cultural factors that bedevil efforts to understand our world. This set of essays is both theoretical and practical, and will raise the ethical bar for both scholars and practitioners in the world of global communication and media.
