"Particularly timely and thought-provoking."--Ethics "[An] excellent and very readable book that goes a long way to help students understand the rights of victims and subjects in relation to the role of the journalist."--Glenn Novak, West Georgia College "This invigorating book reminds me of that moment in geological time when Earth shifted on its axis....Adjusting for proportions, Image Ethics fundamentally alters the world of visual imagery....The struggles in Image Ethics over informed consent, pluralism, symbolic annihilation, and o forth have ramifications far beyond the borders of visual media....Merits recognition by serious students within this larger arena.
