DESCRIPTION
This course addresses the principal ethical issues facing journalism, advertising, entertainment media, and online content. It examines the moral obligations of the producers and creators of media and the responsibilities borne by consumers. The course provides an overview of ethical dilemmas, principles and philosophies then applies these to present day cases in the media. Field studies, lectures and classroom activities are designed to create the space for critical engagement, debate and discussions of content and case studies in order to tackle ethical issues that are present in the production and consumption of the media on an individual and societal level. Beyond the ethical debates about the production and consumption of media the course looks at important technical aspects such as journalistic accuracy, right to privacy and bias.
