Synopsis
We live in a world of proliferating media devices, social media usage, media convergence and mobility. In a culturally diverse world, the globalisation of media calls for a comparative understanding of the legal and ethical issues that are confronting the user and the practitioner in his unique social context. Legal and Ethical Issues in the Media offers a concise and much-needed discussion of the social issues and ramifications of media interaction around the world. Using different national examples, and an accessible style, Dwyer explores key frameworks and concepts that will engage and challenge the contemporary reader's ideas about media practice. Legal and Ethical Issues in the Media foregrounds the rapidly changing media and communications industries and offers: - Accessible and contemporary discussion of key ethical and legal concepts for the student beginning his or her media career - Overviews of crucial ethical frameworks for understanding responsible media practice - Comparisons of international legal and media systems - Key examples of traditional and new media - Brief summaries of complex areas of media law, regulation and policy

"Despite being awash with information, citizens are struggling to stay informed about pressing issues of the day. Dwyer's perceptive exploration of our everyday engagements with media institutions striving to redefine what counts as the public interest - where all too often social responsibility gives way to corporate priorities - casts fresh light on a host of important legal and ethical questions. This book is a very welcome contribution to current debates for students and researchers alike"-Stuart Allan, Professor of Journalism in the Media School, Bournemouth University
