Ethics for Journalists

‘Richard Keeble’s book asks questions which dominate our working lives,

and it is invaluable not just to working journalists and students, but to the

reading and listening public on whom our work depends. There isn’t a jour-

nalist who would not beneﬁt from reading this book, especially if he or she

attempts to answer some of the questions in it.’ Paul Foot

Ethics for Journalists tackles many of the issues which journalists face in

their everyday lives – from the media’s supposed obsession with sex, sleaze

and sensationalism, to issues of regulation and censorship. Its accessible

style and question and answer approach highlight the relevance of ethical

issues for everyone involved in journalism, both trainees and professionals,

whether working in print, broadcast or new media.

Ethics for Journalists provides a comprehensive overview of ethical dilemmas

and features interviews with a number of journalists, including the

celebrated correspondent Phillip Knightley. Presenting a range of imagina-

tive strategies for improving media standards and supported by a thorough

bibliography and a wide ranging list of Websites, Ethics for Journalists

considers many problematic subjects including:

• the representation of women, blacks, gays and lesbians, and the

mentally ill

• controversial calls for a privacy law to restrain the power of the press

• journalistic techniques such as sourcing the news, doorstepping,

deathknocks and the use of subterfuge

• the impact of competition, ownership and advertising on media

standards

• the handling of conﬁdential sources and the dilemmas of war reporting.

Richard Keeble is director of undergraduate studies in the Journalism

Department at City University, London, and a former editor of The

Teacher . He is the author of The Newspapers Handbook , now in its third

edition.
