Black, white and grey: Ethics in South African journalism

In South Africa, the debate about journalism ethics has taken particular turns in recent years. Issues of transformation and race have sparked heated debates in the profession, and there have been calls for the ethical codes of journalistic practice to be revisited, to bring them into line with the new South African reality. This book grew out of these discussions. Among other things, it attempts to measure the traditional standards of journalism against the demands of a changing society. In his excellent, meticulously researched book, Franz KrÁ¼ger describes a range of interesting case studies in which the editors and journalists have simply dropped the balls they’ve been juggling, or at least could have thrown them in different ways.
