Summary

This book introduces readers to several ethical theories that enable journalists to recognize, analyze, and evaluate ethical situations--and to make responsible decisions for the right reasons. Drawing on the most important media codes of conduct in South Africa, it sets out and discusses ten common ethical denominators, and includes five South African case studies.
