<p><b>Robert S. Fortner</b> is the Executive Director of the International Center for Media Studies (ICMS). He has published essays, papers and research reports for various scholarly and professional organizations, and has completed research for the Voice of America, the BBC World Service, Deutsche Welle, the Center for Strategic and International Studies and the Central Intelligence Agency.<br /> <br /> <b>P. Mark Fackler</b> is Professor of Communications Studies at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan.  He is co-author of <i>Media Ethics: Cases and Moral Reasoning 8e</i> (2008) and <i>Good News: Social Ethics and the Press</i> (1993), among other works.</p>

Bringing together scholars from around the world, this substantial work examines ethical issues raised by globalization, the practice of journalism, popular culture, and media activities, and provides the most detailed and diverse set of essays ever assembled on this vital topic. Fortner and Fackler’s innovative collection is both theoretical and practical, and will raise the ethical bar for both scholars and practitioners in the world of global communication and media.

<p>"Fackler and Fortner have done it again, and larger than life with over 1000 pages from 60 sages. <i>The Handbook of Global Communication and Media Ethics</i> is as broad as the earth and as deep as its oceans, written by a 'who's who' of international experts. Read this book instead of two dozen others."<br />—<b>Tom Cooper, Emerson College</b></p> <p>"Venturing into the high seas of culture, politics, philosophy, faith, and technology, these two volumes chart new courses in the ethics of media practices across the globe."<br />—<b>John P. Ferré, University of Louisville</b></p>
