Reflections on Media EthicsReflections on Media Ethics

This video deals with the topic of morals, ethics and values, with an emphasis on media. While the topic of "ethics" dates back to the days of Aristotle, "media ethics" - and the related issues of privacy, censorship, truth, the manipulation of public interest, and the representation of under-served populations - are of great relevance at this time. Through in-depth discussions with renowned filmmakers, journalists and academics, this program examines many of these important issues. It includes interviews with Noam Chomsky, Albert Maysles, George Stoney, Amy Goodman, Jon Alpert and Mary Warnock. A study guide, bibliography, additional information about media ethics, interviewee's biographies, and more about the filmmakers can be found at www.mediaethicstoday.com.
