The book charts a clear path for how this style of ethics can be applied by today's journalists, tracing the emergence of this empathy-based ethics from feminist philosophy in the 1980s. It ultimately urges ethical news organizations to adopt the ethics of care, based on the human emotion prioritized by Scottish Enlightenment philosopher David Hume, and to pursue a more pro-active, solutions-seeking coverage of current events.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is an invaluable text for students and academics in the fields of journalism ethics, media ethics and media law, as well as for media professionals looking for a fresh perspective on practicing ethical journalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joe Mathewson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367690772\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367690779\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/31\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Joe Mathewson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43982693073151,"sku":"9780367690779","price":48.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_eee07283-482a-4f60-81e9-17a77b4b0a61.jpg?v=1683262541","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ethical-journalism-joe-mathewson-9780367690779","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
