Media Ethics and Global Justice in the Digital Age

Today's digital revolution is a worldwide phenomenon with profound and often differential implications for communities around the world and their relationships to one another. This book presents a new explicitly international theory of media ethics incorporating non-Western perspectives and drawing deeply on both moral philosophy and the philosophy of technology. Clifford Christians develops an ethics grounded in three principles - truth human dignity and non-violence - and shows how these principles can be applied across a wide range of cases and domains. The book is a guide for media professionals scholars and educators who are concerned with the global ramifications of new technologies and with creating a more just world.
