David Horner - Understanding Media Ethics

SAGE was founded in 1965 by Sara Miller McCune to support the dissemination of usable knowledge by publishing innovative and high-quality research and teaching content. Today, we publish more than 750 journals, including those of more than 300 learned societies, more than 800 new books per year, and a growing range of library products including archives, data, case studies, reports, conference highlights, and video. SAGE remains majority-owned by our founder, and after Sara's lifetime will become owned by a charitable trust that secures our continued independence.

I would like to thank the University of Brighton for the support from its sabbatical scheme which helped to get this project off the ground. I would also like to thank the very helpful criticisms of the reviewers of the various drafts of this book. Their insightful contributions have helped to make this a much better performance than it would otherwise have been. The same may also be said about the guidance and support contributed by Mila Steele, my Commissioning Editor at Sage. In addition, I would like to thank particularly Dr Chris Boyne for his collaboration over the many years, during which we co-taught Communication Ethics and subsequently Media Ethics to media students at the University of Brighton. And last, but certainly not least, I want to thank the many cohorts of students whom I have had the pleasure of teaching over the years and from whom I have learned so much. The frailties and the faults of this work are, of course, all my own.
