The stress of constant public scrutiny, the pressure of deadlines and the increasing push for ratings sometimes make ethical reporting seem like a contradiction in terms.
In his book Responsible Journalism, Jeff Alan goes beyond theory to explore the practical ethical difficulties facing journalists today. In this guide, Alan uses real-life examples to offer solutions to the more complicated problems facing anyone in the industry. Some of the topics include:
-- Identifying Potential Pitfalls and Avoiding Litigation
-- How to Excel at Live Reporting
-- Effective Ways to Reach Your Audience
-- The Price of Protecting Source Confidentiality
In addition, Alan provides a unique responsibility test to evaluate how well responsible reporting is applied in the field. Responsible Journalism is more than a theoretical guide for journalism students. It is a study in how journalists think, behave and misbehave.
For general managers and industry leaders, this book will prove to be an invaluable learning tool. For students, there's a learning experience on every page. A Must Read for anyone connected with electronic and print media.
