Product Description
This analysis of the ethical challenges posed by new media formats, technologies and audiences considers many aspects of these emerging genres and technologies. It reveals how they work and are reshaping the public sphere, as well as how the connections between product and viewer, and producer and media consumer, are being changed by new shows and formats. With so much interest in contemporary media forms and so many heated debates about media ethics, this book is essential to journalists, media practitioners and theorists.

Reader Reviews
This is the usual array of PC middle-class-bashing drivel that you would expect from the Australian cultural studies intelligentsia. Is it any wonder Germaine Greer fled this country? In their efforts to intellectualise sexy topics and seem somewhat relevant to Generation Why, Probyn and Lumby and their contributors interrogate the ethics of `Big Brother', talkback radio and celebrity culture...yet again. As usual, lots of words are put in single-quote marks to red-light their importance: `colonising', `difference', you get the idea. Those two words sum it up, when push comes to shove, it's all Anglo-Saxon Australia's fault - everything, OK? Big revelation - and they use lots of French poststructuralists to prove it, so it must be true, non?
