Rezensionen

"Other broad examinations of communication ethics... are available, but the present volume is the most far-reaching to date. Summing up: essential." (Choice)

"Fackler and Fortner have done it again, and larger than life with over 1000 pages from 60 sages. The Handbook of Global Communication and Media Ethics is as broad as the earth and as deep as its oceans, written by a 'who's who' of international experts. Read this book instead of two dozen others."
--Tom Cooper, Emerson College

"Venturing into the high seas of culture, politics, philosophy, faith, and technology, these two volumes chart new courses in the ethics of media practices across the globe."
--John P. Ferré, University of Louisville
