This book is a collection of original, interdisciplinary essays on the topic of medical error. Given the complexities of understanding, preventing, and responding to medical error in ethically responsible ways, the scope of the book is fairly broad. The contributors include top scholars and practitioners working in bioethics, communication, law, medicine and philosophy. Their contributions examine preventable causes of medical error, disproportionate impacts of errors on vulnerable populations, disclosure and apology after discovering medical errors, and ethical issues arising in specific medical contexts, such as radiation oncology, psychopathy, and palliative care. They also offer practical recommendations for respecting autonomy, distributing burdens and benefits justly, and minimizing injury to patients and other stakeholders. Ethics and Error in Medicine will be of interest to a wide range of researchers, students, and practitioners in bioethics, philosophy, communication studies, law, and medicine who are interested in the ethics of medical error.

Technological innovation and conglomeration in communication industries has been accelerating the commodification of the news into just another product. The emphasis on the bottom line has resulted in newsroom budget cuts and other business strategies that seriously endanger good journalism. Meanwhile, the growing influence of the Internet and partisan commentary has led even journalists themselves to question their role. In Journalism as Practice, Sandra L. Borden shows that applying philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre's ideas of a 'practice' to journalism can help us to understand what is at stake for society and for those in the newsrooms who have made journalism their vocation. She argues that developing and promoting the kind of robust group identity implied by the idea of a practice can help journalism better withstand the moral challenges posed by commodification. Throughout, the book examines key U.S. journalism ethics cases since 2000. Some of these cases, such as Dan Rather’s "Memogate" scandal, are explored in detail in Practically Speaking sections that discuss relevant cases at length. This book is essential reading for students and practicing journalists interested in preserving the ethical role of journalism in promoting the public good.

This book engages broadly with the impacts of media practices on our prospects for thriving as moral beings in today’s digital spaces. It brings together senior and junior scholars in communication and philosophy originally convened for a symposium on the theme of Media Challenges to Digital Flourishing. Using perspectives ranging from virtue ethics and media sociology to care ethics and moral psychology, the authors anticipate and analyze cutting-edge ethical issues at the nexus of media and technology.Topics covered include the moral standing of artificial intelligence, the characteristics of virtues and moral exemplars in digital spaces, the prospects for moral autonomy under the terms of surveillance capitalism, and the obligation of media ethicists to proactively flag emerging ethical problems. In short, this book attempts to identify and address the impacts of digital media practices on our prospects for thriving as moral beings in terms of both the virtuous and the virtual.This interdisciplinary volume is a helpful resource for students and scholars of media, communication, journalism, technology, moral psychology and ethics, as well as practitioners and policy makers with related interests. It was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Media Ethics.
