Practicing Communication Ethics

Tompkins (St. Cloud State U.) provides a textbook for undergraduate students on the individual practice of communication ethics, based on the idea that it is a practical component of everyday living and with the aim of encouraging readers to become more mindful of their practice as a means for improving their communication. She presents an approach to ethical deliberation and decision making about communication, values important in the process, and how to apply them and ethical theories in reasoning, as well as contexts of community, intercultural communication, and digital communication, and common challenges such as not recognizing or misunderstanding ethical issues and rationalizing unethical decisions.
