Fictional Representations of (Un)ethical Journalistic Practices in Graham Greenea s Work

British author Graham Greene pursued a professional career as a journalist before becoming a full-time writer. After that, he continued taking on reporting assignments as a correspondent for a variety of publications. Greene knew the profession inside out, and the role of the media in shaping the publics views through information gathering and disseminationa "e;a topic insufficiently researched by criticisma "e;was among his main concerns. Greenes fictional work features an array of journalists, and the representation of (un)ethical practices of the profession is a constant reference in his narrative. In this book, I intend to fill this research gap in Greenean studies, focusing on three main topics: the authors reflection on the journalistic practice in connection with the classic paradigm of objectivity versus empathy; his questioning of the misuse of power when gathering and disseminating information by journalists, editors and news corporation owners; and finally, the relationship between journalists and their readerships expectations, as well as the importance of fostering critical readers that make informed trustworthy decisions regarding journalism performance.
