JRN 02319Media Ethics

Catalog

Media Ethics examines decision-making in media professions. The course examines the moral aspects of media conduct, and helps the student develop a more complete understanding of not only the historical background of ethics, but how the interplay of politics, science, economics, law, philosophy, and other disciplines have influenced the way we view right and wrong. The course also strengthens analytical skills as they relate to ethical decisions, cultivating a perception of how media professionals come to a decision and the many factors that influence that decision.
