Ethical Issues in a Rookie's World

Abstract

This set of book reviews features two titles that will be of particular interest to readers who teach media ethics. In their reviews, both Jack Breslin and Kristie Bunton reflect on how important it is to cover material with which students, most of whom are newcomers to media professions, can connect. Both reviewers give kudos to these books for being especially relevant to student readers. The third title in this section focuses on political communication and its increasingly personal nature. While not an “ethics” title per se, reviewer Debra Petersen suggests that the book offers a helpful look at one of ethics’ most enduring issues: privacy.
