Enkay Publishing House, 2012. Hardcover. New. There is a perennial concern that the standards of journalism are being ignored. One of the most controversial issues in modern reporting in media bias, especially on political issues but also with regard to cultural and other issues. Sensationalism is also a common compalint. Minor factual errors are also extremely commong as almost anyone who is familiar with the subject of a particular report will quickly realize. One of the primary functions of journalism ethics is to aid journalists in dealing with many ethical dilemmas they may encounter. From highly sensitive issues of national security to everyday questions such as accepting a dinner from a source, putting a bumper sticker on one`s car, publishing a personal opinion blog, a journalist must make decisions taking into account things such as the public`s right to know, potential threats, reprisals and intimidations of all kinds, personal integrity, conflicts between editors, reporters and publishers or management etc. Table of Contents Introduction Freedom for the media: Issues of journalism ethics News commercialization, ethics and objectivity in media journalism The media in a society in transition Roles and effects of the media in politics Ethics and responsibility in journalism Journalists-puppets of the proprietors Freedom of the press Investigative journalism and ethics Corporate responsibility and the media Privacy and the press: scoops, secrets and ethics in the new media landscape Psychological effects of war journalism and peace journalism New media and its effects on journalism and media development Conscience to Community: on the importance of relocating journalism ethics Bibliography Index Printed Pages: 272., Enkay Publishing House, 2012, Viva Books Private Limited, 2010. First edition. Hardcover. New. Review: "Academic freedom now confronts new challenges with the rise of new technologies (web pages, etc.), national security concerns, the politicization of higher education, both inside and outside of the academy, and the growing penetration of corporate, business, and government interests. This book is the first to describe – clearly, fairly, and astutely – the many different contexts in which problems of academic freedom appear, and the critical tension between institutional and individual freedom. Robert O’Neil writes from a lifetime of experience, as professor, university president, and founder of a free-speech think tank. He was an early and vociferous critic of speech codes and other policies that suppressed the speech of conservative faculty members and students, and he and his book do not flinch in supporting the academic freedom rights of all, including the politically incorrect. A book this broad and clear will be invaluable to anyone attempting to disentangle claims of academic freedom and its complexities." -Donald A. Downs University of Wisconsin Description: In this passionately argued overview, a longtime activist-scholar takes readers through the changing landscape of academic freedom. From the aftermath of September 11 to the new frontier of blogging, Robert O’Neil examines the tension between institutional and individual interests. Many cases boil down to a hotly contested question: Who has the right to decide what is taught in the classroom? O’Neil shows how courts increasingly restrict professorial judgment, and how the feeble protection of what is posted on the Internet and written in email makes academics more vulnerable than ever. Even more provocatively, O’Neil argues that the newest threats to academic freedom come not from government, but from the private sector. Corporations increasingly sponsor and control university-based research, while self-appointed watchdogs systematically harass individual teachers on websites and blogs. Most troubling, these threats to academic freedom are nearly immune from legal recourse. Insisting that new concepts of academic freedom and new strategies for maintaining it are needed, O’Neil urges academics to work together across rigid divisions between "left" and "right," and to be alert to new threats from within the academic world itself. Contents: Acknowledgments • Discovering academic freedom • Protecting academic freedom • The constitution and the courts • Academic freedom in times of crisis • The rights of academic researchers • Intersections of academic and artistic freedom • New technologies: Academic freedom in cyberspace • Whose academic freedom? • Bias, balance, and beyond: New threats to academic freedom • Academic freedom in perspective • Notes • Index About the Author: Robert O’Neil is University Professor and Professor of Law at the University of Virginia. He is the former president of the university and founder of the Thomas Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression. Target Audience: University VCs, Government officials in the ministry of HRD, Educationist and researchers. Printed Pages: 320., Viva Books Private Limited, 2010<
