Mixed Media, Second Edition, introduces readers to the tools necessary for making moral and ethical decisions regarding the use of mass media. The chapters in this text offer insights on:


Similarities and differences among the ethical dilemmas faced by the mass media


Common ground on which to evaluate media behavior


Media obligations


Professional ethics


Ethical theory and its application to the modern media


Considerations of truth and harm

New to the second edition is a focus on the three mass media industries most pervasive in today's society: the news media (journalism), advertising, and public relations, with individual chapters giving equal coverage to each. It includes an increased emphasis on "new media" and how ethics affect such concepts as social media, word-of-mouth marketing, and citizen journalism. Readers will come away with a greater appreciation for moral philosophy and theory as a foundation for decision making, and will develop a personal "yardstick" by which to measure their decisions.

Thomas Bivins is the John L. Hulteng Chair in Media Ethics in the School of Journalism and Communication at the University of Oregon where he is the head of the Graduate Certificate Program in Communication Ethics. He has worked in television and radio broadcasting, advertising, corporate public relations, and as a graphic designer and editorial cartoonist. He is the author of books on media ethics, public relations writing, publication design, advertising, and newsletter publication.
