- W328489258 abstract "A conference on general semantics, especially one titled Confronting Challenges of Conflicting World Views, provides an opportune moment to talk shop about semantics and ethics of War Iraq, with special attention on behaviors of journalists and public relations practitioners and how media critics might improve their criticism and discourse about those issues. What seems to be going on in world out there, media-land? What are journalists and PR practitioners up to their efforts to gather, report, and/or manipulate and package information about War Iraq? What trends, if any, can we note media-public nexus since 9/11? How can news media practitioners, mere mortals that they are, process and gate-keep information professionally, objectively, and ethically during times of such high international dudgeon, and how can public relations practitioners operate effectively and ethically same environment? How do we, as faculty and students and scholars, filter these images and trends through our own systems of values? And then, how do we ethically and responsibly teach this stuff, when we ourselves are very likely to be burdened by strong (and perhaps unexamined) prejudices and when we have been granted awesome power of classroom lectern? Let's explore some of these issues via a case study. The natural laboratory I want to take you to is my Monday night Ethics Across Professions class late March, 2003. In that course are 45 students, about half from Interdisciplinary Social Sciences and half from Journalism and Media Studies. This week we were concentrating on media ethics; we've already worked on ethics of leadership, health care, business, law, and education, and we've participated a three-day international conference on professional ethics. So by now students are reasonably sophisticated about professional power, codes of ethics, conflicts of interest, nature of truth telling and harm and independence and accountability, etc. They're fairly good at systematic reasoning, and can use a variety of ethical decision-making models to think their way through sticky dilemmas. So we should have every reason to expect a discussion of media ethics to proceed at rational, principled level, right? Guess again. Not unlike every casual, street-corner, water-cooler, barbershop conversation any of us have had about media ethics with everyday ordinary folks, Monday night's class quickly degenerated to (or should I say emerged from) visceral level of discourse. The claims and counterclaims constituted what we might call moralizing, as distinguished from moral philosophy. Such moralizing seems to be informed by prejudice, by selective information, by syndrome Lewis Carroll described as 'First sentence and then evidence,' cried Queen. In short, it seemed to be a routine discussion about media ethics! What were topics brought up, and how were they dealt with? Well, Peter Arnett for one. The NBC/MSNBC/National Geographic reporter stationed Baghdad, who was interviewed on Iraqi television, had called US war effort a failure, and was soundly chastised and fired for crossing Maginot line that separates reporter and activist. Students, citing unnamed sources of rumor (including, of course, ubiquitous internet) said that Geraldo Rivera had also been kicked out of Iraq for having revealed US troop movements. (Of course, we had not yet seen Tuesday, April 1, stories which Geraldo denied he was being removed from war zone and blamed rumors on rats at NBC news, his former employer, and the pack of lies from MSNBC, which he referred to as so pathetic a cable news network that they have to do everything they can to attract attention. That would have been grist for media ethics mill other night; it will have to wait a week, by which time world would have learned that Geraldo indeed had been booted out of Iraq for sketching troop movements sand. …" @default.
