This course promotes critical evaluation of media in the digital era, including an examination of how media professionals interact with individuals and institutions in the creation and presentation of their work. The course hopes to promote students’ moral growth and development. Participants should leave at the end of the semester with the skills necessary to work through an ethical dilemma in the work place—and in their personal lives.
Students will use systematic moral analysis of ethical issues within particular cases and gain a better understanding of important ethical constructs such as harm, blameworthiness, praiseworthiness, justice, privacy, confidentiality, and conflict of interest.
