Book Synopsis

Johannesen, a well-known expert in the field of communication ethics, has given students a volume rich with traditional and contemporary perspectives on ethics and its role in human interaction. Many engaging, up-to-date examples from speeches, news accounts, magazines, television, and a variety of other sources are presented in relevant contexts whereby students can assess communication ethics. They will welcome the chapters on feminist ethics and intercultural and multicultural communication as well as innovative material on communication in organizations, current formal codes of ethics, and an up-to-date, comprehensive reading list. As with previous editions, Johannesen stimulates individuals to reflect critically on the many nuances of ethics, inviting them to make personal choices about balancing freedom and responsibility during the communication process.
