Welcome to our book on Media Ethics! This Book is designed to provide you with an
introduction to the ethical principles behind media production, communication, and
journalism. We will explore how these principles shape our understanding of media
coverage, representations of people and events in the media, and the processes
used to create news stories. You will gain an understanding of the importance of
responsible and ethical media practices and learn strategies for promoting respect
for divergent points of view. Our goal is that by the end of this course you will have
developed critical thinking skills related to evaluating sources and information in
today’s digital environment. So, let us get started!
