Book Description

In Good News, Bad News, Jeremy Iggers argues that journalism's institutionalized conversation about ethics largely evades the most important issues regarding the public interest and the civic responsibilities of the press. Changes in the ownership and organization of the news media make these issues especially timely; although journalism's ethics rest on the idea of journalism as a profession, the rise of market-driven journalism has undermined journalists' professional status. Ultimately, argues Iggers, journalism is impossible without a public that cares about the common life. Written in an accessible style, Good News, Bad News is important reading for journalists, communication scholars, and students.

Customer Reviews:

An excellent take on an underdiscussed topic.......2000-05-20

Iggers begins his discussion about journalism ethics from a simple premise: "Journalism is in trouble." Citing a persistent urging of the public for journalists to become more ethical in their practices, Iggers explains that "the most fundamental problem is not the performance of the journalists but the standards themselves."

Iggers argues that the ethical discourse commonly inferred in the practice of journalism tends to ignore issues concerning the public interest and the social responsibility on which the press is founded. Environmental changes and the rise of market-driven journalism have caused a decline in the professional status of practicing journalists.

Ultimately, Iggers declares that the continued existance of journalism depends on a engaging the public in an open dialogue in which the public interest is central and practical goals are identified to help journalism "take as its foundation a commitment to enable citizens to participate in democratic life."

According to Iggers, part of the problem journalists have is an inability to discuss ethics in conceptual terms. Rather, most tend to discuss ethics in terms of cases, the most notable being the Janet Cooke case.

However, even in such cases, Iggers suggests that journalists do not often articulate the principles behind the cases, but tend to evaluate such examples on the merits of their effect in the relationship between the press and the public. Because of this, Iggers explains that the institutional values of journalism are not rooted in rules, but in evolving practices. And these practices appear to focus on making sure the journalist's ethical behavior cannot be questioned, invoking Gaye Tuchman's "defensive ritual."

After providing a historical context for the foundation of industry ethical codes, Iggers tracks ethical thought through the century in order to provide a context for the Janet Cooke incident. Iggers cites this controversy as a defining moment in journalism ethics which brought the discourse to national attention. Iggers then discusses the industry following the Cooke incident to provide a context for his discussion of the present issues.

Iggers cites several reasons for journalists' inability to conceptualize ethics. One major reason is that journalism encompasses several competing philosophies, which has led to "fundamental incoherencies and contradictions built into the core principles of the profession."

In addition, the practice of objectivity biased journalists against making moral judgements. According to Iggers, this philosophy carries over to ethical thought.

Also, changes in the concept of newsworthiness have resulted in a fundamental shift in focus from informing citizens to serving customers. "There is very little talk nowadays about readers as citizens," Iggers writes. "Rather, readers are spoken of as customers and the newspaper as a product. Increasingly, journalistic decisions are being made not on the basis of journalists' professional expertise about what it is important for the public to know, but on the basis of market research about what kinds of things customers, or potential customers, want to know."

Another problem in journalism ethical discourse is the scope of ethical codes in the workplace. Ethical codes are often aimed at individual reporters, not the institutions themselves. Also, Iggers points out that the owners of media are excluded from the discussion. Finally, many of the principles that are practiced tend to apply only to the story level, allowing inherent conflicts to arrive at the layout and publication level.

Iggers claims the solution for the survival of journalism is rooted in a pragmatic ethical base of theory. This approach would focus the creation and sustaining of a public sphere as the primary goal of journalism. In practice, Iggers advocates turning to a form of public journalism that centers around building an alliance between journalists and the public.

Iggers portrays the difference in philosophy as moving from a position of journalism without the public (the traditional model) to a practice of journalism about the public (a model addressing the concerns of the common reader) to a goal of journalism with the public (as a tool that enhances the abilities of citizens to function in society). According to Iggers, this process requires journalists approach the public as an ally, abandon professional arrogance and admit that "journalists need the public even more than the public needs them."

Iggers' portrayals of marketing influences and of the anti-democratic potential of journalistic objectivity are compelling. By building on traditional trends and discourse, he is able to show how the changing landscape of journalism practices demands critical attention.

However, Iggers acceptance of the consolidation of advertising and editorial content as a logical step in the service of the public should raise a few skeptical eyebrows. The open discussion and service he promotes with the public sphere appears to assume such a sphere would be media savvy enough to articulate what it expects from journalism. It also seems to suggest that the public sphere would desire journalism over entertainment, which is a difficult premise in light of his stated view that broadcast news has evolved into non-journalistic entertainment under public influence.

Book Description

Mass media ethics and the classical liberal ideal of the autonomous individual are historically linked and professionally dominant--yet the authors of this work feel this is intrinsically flawed. They show how recent research in philosophy and social science--together with a longer tradition
in theological inquiry--insist that community, mutuality, and relationship are fundamental to a full concept of personhood. The authors argue that "persons-in-community" provides a more defensible grounding for journalists' professional moral decison-making in crucial areas such as truthtelling,
privacy, organizational culture, and balanced coverage. With numerous examples drawn from life as well as from theory, this book will interest journalists, editors, and professionals in media management as well as students and scholars of media ethics, reporting, and media law.

This book is not for beginners!.......2006-02-17

I am no dummy when it comes to using software or teaching books, but this one is over my head. I am a beginner with Flash MX 2004. I would prefer hands on, step by step tutorials....at least until I have a grasp of the basics. At over 1200 pages, I am sure that I will be using this book as a reference in the future. For now, I need to start a little slower.

Excellent Guide and Reference.......2005-09-16

This book is an excellent reference for even the most experienced ActionScript developer.

Not for newbies........2005-07-26

In my opinion, this book is more for a reference than it is for a new person to a language. The basics are just breifly gone through. But almost everything is covered, even if for a brief bit. The book goes through almost, if not all of the classes and thier properties and methods. I just wish there were more on the basics, which I got from other sources.

So So.......2005-07-11

This is the second book I have purchased with Joey Lott and I have to say it is much better then the Remoting book but not by much. This book also has some examples that DO NOT WORK. Its rediculous to put examples in that are of no use. Besides that I really don't like his teaching style. He can get really confusing as he uses far to many terms to describe one word. Not only that but he switches as he pleases making you spend a lot of time back tracking trying to figure out what he is referring to. He also takes the long way around and I found myself taking a lot of notes to weed through and separate the learning from the babbling. It was really frustrating and I wasted so much time where I could have been learning. I have found better from instructors who are clearer, detailed and to the point. This book would probably be a few hundred pages less if he would do that. We would learn just as much.

This (like others have stated) is definitely not a good reference book nor is it a good book for beginners but if you are an intermediate and you have already gone through some tutorials or other books written by Joey (that way you know how to decipher his teachings/blabbering) then I say give it a try.

I got a lot of good notes deciphering his stuff into people terms which I have learned a lot.

An exceptionally comprehensive volume.......2005-03-26

It's not for beginners ? ok, it's not.

It's mainly for intermediate readers and it goes reasonably deep and covers an impressive wide range of topics.

It's not an reference guide, if you need one, get the ActionScript reference guide from Macromedia.

If you want to learn Object-Oriented Development with ActionScript 2.0 the Moock's book is the best choice. For me, the ActionScript Bible and the Moock's book are special volumes.

Book Description

Until recently little was known about ancient Nubia and day-to-day lives of the Nubian people aside from knowing it was a civilization contemporary with, distinct from, and living under the shadow of Ancient Egypt. Nubia existed from about 3500-300 BCE, close to 3,000 years. Thanks to recent massive archeological surveys, we now have a much clearer picture of Nubian civilization, what they ate, how they dressed, how they cared for their dead, their military triumphs and defeats, where their cities were built, and what they looked like. Of course they underwent dramatic changes over time, and these are noted where appropriate. Though often confused with the Ethiopians of Greek lore, little doubt remains that Nubians were in fact black African peoples, and their civilization has been claimed by many as proof of a sophisticated and ancient black African society. For ease of use by students, the work is organized chronologically. Each chapter is divided into convenient subheads that detail military and warfare, government, language, relations with neighboring civilizations; work and the economy, engineering and architecture, housing, transportation, family life, life cycle events, women's roles, art, music and dance, literature, science, and religion. It includes a historical timeline of Nubian history, a glossary of Nubian terms, and a bibliography for further reading. Throughout the work, Bianchi, an expert on the Nubians, shows how the modern world has little by little come to discover and recognize the distinctiveness and importance of Nubia in ancient history. This work will replace all earlier resources on Nubian life and will provide school and public librarians with the most up-to-date and historically correct information on the Nubians.

Book Description

Did the Polynesians, Chinese and others make contact with North American civilizations in prehistoric times? For many years, this question was as close to taboo as you could get in anthropology: even to ask it was to risk labeling oneself a racist. Now, however, hard physical evidence of such contact has mounted to the point where it is difficult to ignore.This groundbreaking work, by the single most prominent scholar on the subject of pre-Columbian contact, is sure to be controversial and will cause the standard textbooks of North American prehistory to be rewritten. Stephen Jett covers the maritime capabilities of Far Eastern and Oceanic peoples, the physical evidence for contact, and the cultural similarities between New and Old World civilizations that had previously been explained away. This is an important book that will force a reassessment of the entire picture of North American prehistory.
