«'Professor Christians has capped his uniquely distinguished career as a media ethicist with a work that is exceptionally sweeping in its intellectual reach and bold in its ambition.

Edward Wasserman, University of California, Berkeley»
«'Professor Christians provides a rigorous, international reboot of the foundations of media ethics though a human-centered philosophy of technology and a cosmopolitan ethic of being human. Amid a global media revolution, citizen and scholar require such deep and audacious thinking to advance human flourishing across borders.' Stephen J. A. Ward, author of Global Journalism Ethics, Global Media Ethics: Problems and Perspectives, Radical Media Ethics A Global Approach and Handbook of Global Media Ethics»
«'Clifford G. Christians proffers a genuinely original account of media ethics that not only takes technology seriously, but also uses it to engage in discussions others have been unwilling - or unable - to pursue. Because digital communication is 'inescapably global', media ethics requires precisely what this book provides: a 'theory of international communication ethics.' Theodore L. Glasser, Stanford University, California»
«'This book provides a useful framework for both seasoned and new scholars to help guide contemporary media ethics while building on the success of the previous scholarship that made the field what it is today.' Rocci Luppicini, Prometheus»
«'Inside this book you'll find issues as challenging as the media have ever faced, and they are occurring while the various forms of public communication are themselves in the midst of prolonged technological convulsions. Christians charts a new path through the confusion by offering a vision of global justice grounded in a human-centered philosophy of technology. This book is a showcase of keen insight, remarkable breath, deep compassion. It is essential reading for those committed to media ethics as an intellectual project that is both just and inclusive.' Christian Sandvig, H. Marshall McLuhan Collegiate Professor of Digital Media, University of Michigan»
