Journalism Ethics Goes to the Movies
by Howard Good (2006)
About this book
"How far should a reporter go for a story? What's the role of the press at the scene of an emergency or a murder? Why has journalism suddenly become so susceptible to plagiarism? Here's a book that poses these and other urgent questions - and offers candid answers. At a time when professionals and the public alike worry that journalism has lost its way, Journalism Ethics Goes to the Movies provides much-needed, accessible guidance." "The twelve chapters, written by some of the nation's leading journalism scholars, explore issues that should concern anyone who aspires to a career in journalism, who works in the field, or who relies on news for daily information. Best of all, as the title suggests, the contributors conduct their dynamic and engaging investigations at the movies, where sportswriters, war correspondents, investigative reporters, crime reporters, spin doctors, TV anchors, and harried city editors tackle these pressing issues. Journalism Ethics Goes to the Movies isn't your typical textbook. Using popular movies - from Wag the Dog to Good Night, and Good Luck - to illustrate the kind of ethical dilemmas journalists encounter on the job, this student-friendly book is sure to spark interest and stimulate thinking."--Jacket.

Faith In Film
Christopher Deacy
"How plausible is it to examine the medium of film through a Christian lens? Are there any grounds for supposing that, in 'going to the movies', one is participating in a religious activity? Faith in Film identifies and explores these key questions." "From the unprecedented and innovative perspective of Christian theology, this book investigates how cinema audiences wrestle with religious beliefs and values. Through a reading of films as diverse as Groundhog Day, Billy Liar, Fight Club, Nobody's Fool and The Passion of the Christ, Christopher Deacy reveals that the movies raise vital questions about the spiritual landscape and normative values of western society today."--BOOK JACKET.
Sacred terror
Douglas E. Cowan
"Why do religious elements so often lurk at the heart of horror films? And why do they scare us so? In this book, Douglas Cowan argues that horror films are opportune vehicles for externalizing the fears that lie inside our religious selves: fear of evil; of the flesh; of sacred places; of death, dying badly, or not remaining dead; and of the power - and powerlessness - of religion."--BOOK JACKET.
