The mass media communicate messages to everyone within their circulation area, that is to those who buy their newspaper, tune into their TV channel or log on to the World Wide Web. Their stories are of wider interest. The accuracy , diversity and bias of the advertisements, commentary, and headlines, stock market assessments, photographs and cartoons that we hear and see in the media influence how we vote, what we buy and where we fit into the world. Underlying the presentation of ethical issues in the media today are three undercurrents - the sweeping secularisation of the West - the dominance of economic rationalist philosophy and - globalisation of all media. For journalists, students and all who think about the role of the media and its ethics. Includes case studies for classes and groups.
