Rezensionen

This stunning book is a world-class anthology on personal responsibility and the collective good. Communication studies as a whole and media ethics specifically need a major transformation into the international. Global Pandemics and Media Ethics demonstrates decisively how world-level scholarship ought to be done. Instead of working parochially from the West to the world, every chapter is an authority on countries and regions from five continents. The research methodology in all three sections without exception is comprehensive and absolutely suited to the issues, with especially keen insight into the impact of digital technology. The book's thesis is innovative in contending that pandemic crises illuminate the crucial challenges for media ethics in cross-cultural and global terms. The recommendations in every chapter for ethical theory, for truth in journalism education and practice, and for public policy give this compelling book enduring significance. -Clifford Christians, Research Professor of Communications Emeritus, University of Illinois USA



Global Pandemics and Media Ethics: Issues and Perspectives is an important book in view of continuing debates around the Fourth Estate's responsibility to report truthfully, credibly, and without bias; important factors that help shape public opinion. The volume fulfills an important function as it seeks to scrutinize the media's role in the social and political polarization the world has seen during the Covid-19 pandemic while offering ways to counter these negative effects. The volume raises important questions regarding ethical issues and dilemmas the media encounters within an ever-changing and evolving press landscape. -Maha Bashri, Associate Professor, Department of Media and Creative Industries, United Arab Emirates University, UAE.
