Riassunto

As modern media shift from the distribution of information to its creation, a fresh inquiry into the ethics of media is needed. This collection of 19 essays provides useful perspectives for both producers and consumers of entertainment. Topics include the creation of celebrity, the effects of entertainment on children, the hybridization of entertainment and news, author and intellectual property rights, and the role of human dignity in modern media, among many others.

Recensione:

• “Recommended”—Choice
• “Any book that begins with a quote from the Dixie Chicks is one that I likely will want to read and one that my students are not going to hate me for requiring them to buy. Howard Good and Sandra Borden do an excellent job of bringing together a range of scholars to address the multifaceted nature of entertainment industry ethics...an imminently readable and well-edited book”—Journal of Mass Media Ethics.
