Opis

To help maintain and improve the mass media’s credibility, media practitioners and the public traditionally have employed a variety of accountability tools from ethics codes and critics to news councils and journalism reviews. Media Accountability asks a group of international media ethics experts if these tools are still relevant for the 21^st Century, and if not, whether the tools themselves can be re-tooled.

This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Mass Media Ethics.
