Lady Gaga rates a mention less for her own musings on The Fame Monster than as the “contemporary heiress” of Lola Montez, an actress, dancer, and courtesan famed throughout Europe in the early 1800s (p. 47). Readers looking for a monograph brimming with contemporary case studies will likely be disappointed. That said, this deeper timeline is a refreshing corrective to the presentism of many academic works on celebrity. While rooted in historical examples, van Krieken is certainly aware that the mechanisms of celebrity today are ever-changing and “much more complex, nuanced and extensive : : : than one would first appreciate” (p. x). Social media have enabled would-be celebrities to promote their amateur efforts in new ways, and media conglomeration has created even more possibilities for synergistic promotion of celebrity images. In such a slim volume, many such mechanisms are necessarily left unaddressed; despite the colorful cover photo of young women in headscarves clamoring for an unseen idol, the affective relationships of fandom are also beyond the scope of this book. Instead, van Krieken demonstrates that celebrity is not a 20th century phenomenon, as he traces back to the earliest uses of the term and to figures such as philosopher Jean-","PeriodicalId":162833,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mass Media Ethics","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124362412","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The focus is on the interrelated issues of conflicts of interest, disclosure of interest, investment by journalists, and market manipulation. While some journalists are aware of key ethical dilemmas and the professional standards, there remains confusion among many journalists regarding appropriate standards. The Chinese language business media in Hong Kong operate with a more relaxed approach to conflicts of interest than the English language media and global business news providers. The assumptions behind these different approaches are compared and contrasted.","PeriodicalId":162833,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mass Media Ethics","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114652395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The impact of three characteristics on organizational ethics was also tested. It was found that the Chinese media are most loyal to organizational development, then to the government; and least loyal to their audience. Furthermore, media organizations tend to use consequentialism rather than formalism to justify their moral decisions. This pattern is particularly salient in TV stations compared with daily newspapers.","PeriodicalId":162833,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mass Media Ethics","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122221677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
