Media Ethics Goes to the Movies

The book explores how films like Ace in the Hole, All the President's Men, Network, and Twelve Angry Men illustrate complex ethical dilemmas faced by the media, such as truth-telling and corporate influence. Authors Howard Good and Michael Dillon argue that these movies, when analyzed in context, serve as effective tools for understanding media practices and the responsibilities of journalists. By framing these narratives, they reveal the intricate relationship between cinema and real-world media ethics.
