Ethical Decision Making in the Journalistic Workplace

Faculty: Professor David Crabtree (Profile)

Description: The purpose of this e-tutorial is to challenge the student in making decisions of fact finding and truth telling. Whether broadcast, internet or print, journalists often find themselves struggling with true facts that sometimes equal or do not equal truth. All of this can be framed in theological ethics.
