Ethical Issues You Probably Never Thought Of …

Abstract

One of the best things about editing the book review section for the past eight years has been encountering a tremendous variety of books that have intriguing connections—sometimes explicit, sometimes more implicit—to media ethics. Through the years, reviewers have commented on books not only from the communication, media, and journalism disciplines but also from philosophy, sociology, film studies, political science, psychology, economics, and more. This section of reviews represents some of that variety; in it, reviewers cover digital ethics, war photography, alternative media, and consumer culture. The section clearly demonstrates that media ethicists will never run out of interesting things to reflect on and talk about. Enjoy.
