Press Laws and Media Ethics

"Journalism ethics and standards include principles of ethics and of good practice to address the specific challenges faced by professional journalists. Historically and currently, these principles are most widely known to the journalists as their professional 'Code of Ethics' of 'Canons of Journalism'. The basic codes and canons commonly appear in statements drafted by both professional journalism associations and individual print, broadcast and online news organizations. Designed for students and professionals of journalism and mass communication, this book analyses various laws and ethical issues of journalism."
