Rezensionen

"In the age of big data, disinformation and demagoguery the need for democratically engaged, ethically committed journalists is clear and urgent. With the disruption of long-held journalistic models and practices, comes the need to think about journalism ethics in new and innovative ways. This book rises to the challenge by proposing ways for journalists to move beyond glib claims to facticity and objectivity toward more holistic, open and honest ways to contribute to the goal of human flourishing. Persuasively argued, rooted in careful philosophical reflection and global in its outlook, Disrupting Journalism Ethics is an important addition to current debates about the roles and responsibilities of journalism in a rapidly changing media environment."
