omnipresent media forces. We invite submissions for an edited collection that
deals broadly with current issues in contemporary media ethics. The book will
deal with ethical issues facing both media producers and consumers. We welcome
essays that discuss ethical issues facing media professionals in both print and
broadcast journalism, advertising, public relations, and entertainment. These
essays may deal with issues raised by emerging technologies, convergence media,
or more established mass media outlets. Beyond the discussion of ethical issues
facing media professionals, we are also invite essays that address private media
consumption and production practices. We are interested in both classical and
contemporary philosophical approaches to media ethics
