Media Ethics magazine isn't published frequently enough to keep up with all the news and controversies in the field of media ethics-but that doesn't mean that we ignore current events. In this issue, there are articles by Ralph Barney about the Don Imus imbroglio and John C. Merrill which was initiated by the Anna Nicole Smith frenzy.
In the Fall issue, we hope that someone will have had the opportunity to consider the ethical aspects of the many events (e.g., coverage of the killings at Virginia Tech, including the killer's manifesto) or developments (the ever-more-rapid turnover in ownership of media outlets) that blast into our consciousness every time we turn around, and write commentary on them for this magazine. Some topics may be more important than others-e.g., events in the Middle East vs. publication of the client telephone list of the "D.C. Madam"-but insofar as they affect or are affected by mass media ethics, we'd like to see them.
We would love to receive from you-and from your fellow media professionals, scholars, or students-research reports and commentary/analysis consisting of well-written and reasoned opinion articles on any subject pertinent to the ethics of mass communications.
We also publish reviews, reports, digests, bibliographies, and case studies, as well as news releases dealing with events, opportunities, publications, and upcoming meetings in the field. We've been known to publish poetry. We welcome debate and argument, and we are not biased toward or against either "new" or "old" media or topics.
(But please keep the length of your submissions within our ability to publish them. Many of Media Ethics' best opinion articles contain fewer than 1,200 words (although some are longer), and notices and reviews should be kept as short as possible. Naturally, all submissions are subject to editing-but we communicate about any problems or changes. Our deadlines are usually February 15 and August 15.)
To submit a manuscript, merely E-mail it to me at editor@mediaethic smagazine.com or send it by U. S. mail to Media Ethics magazine, 186 Tremont St., Boston, MA 02111. If close to deadline, please use E-mail. (Any messages dealing with subscriptions should be directed to assistant@mediaethicsmagazine.com at the same address).
Thanks for everything that some of you have already done and more of you will do in the future to continue making Media Ethics worth reading.
