This comprehensive handbook stands as one of the pioneering resources for research and teaching in the emerging field of global media ethics. The emergence of new media with a global reach and profound impact has necessitated the development of a journalism ethics that transcends national boundaries and principles. For numerous scholars, educators, and journalists, the existing codes of ethics, often characterized by their parochial and national nature, fall short in providing adequate normative guidance for a media landscape that is digital, global, and driven by both professional practitioners and citizen journalists. Consequently, a concerted effort is underway to establish a global media ethics that delineates what constitutes responsible public journalism in the context of our evolving global media era. At present, scholars engage in the writing of texts and codes that address global media ethics, the teaching of global media ethics, the analysis of how global issues should be covered, and the convening of conferences, roundtables, and meetings to discuss and explore these important topics. However, a glaring gap exists in the field, as there is no authoritative handbook that presents the perspectives of esteemed thinkers on the most pressing issues in global media ethics. This handbook fills that void, marking a significant milestone and a substantial contribution to the realm of media ethics.
