About the Book
The Ethical Journalist gives aspiring journalists and writers the tools they need to make professional decisions they can defend. Focused on practice rather than theory, The Ethical Journalist familiarizes students with the profession's consensus standards of ethical conduct, and encourages students to use their own sense of ethics to make the difficult decisions necessary to careers in journalism. Written by a veteran journalist with more than 40 years of experience in the field, this pioneering textbook brings the challenges of real journalism from the newsroom to the classroom. Gene Foreman combines the ideas of leading scholars and professional journalists to create an essential text for anyone seeking a future in journalism.
