The second half of the course will treat the issues involved in the ethics of journalistic writing. Grounded in the ethical critical theory read during the first half of the semester, students will explore questions media professionals confront when writing for publication, such as: What does freedom of the press mean? What is the fourth estate? What constitutes “news” and, once that definition is arrived at, is it ever ethical to withhold news from the public? Students will confront these questions through comprehensive reading, case studies, their own writing, the sharing of their thoughts through blogs and discussion. Prerequisite: COMM/EN 385
