Clear and Compelling

I scanned dozens of books on ethics and communication ethics before settling on this one as my basic text for the New Media Ethics course I teach for The New School in New York City. Johannesen's book is perfect for the intelligent layperson who needs a thoughtful, clear, and comprehensive introduction to ethics, and more specifically, ethics in communication. Highly recommended for students, professors, or anyone that wants a deeper understanding of some of today's difficult ethical challenges, and a set of approaches to resolving them.

This book caused a deeper probe into Communication Ethics

I read this book for one of my college courses and it was very interesting, insightful, and complete. Dr. Johannesen weaves into his book many different aspects of ethical communication to include responsibility, politics, culture, small group, interpersonal, religious, as well as feminist contributions. His writing style is easy to follow, yet professionally done. He includes all members of the ethical communication "dream team" and provides clear interpretation of their texts. After reading his book, I signed up for an independent study at my college on the ethical attributes of communication in the workplace. In a time when ethical communication is needed most, this book provides an excellent foundation for considerations into our communication with others. A must read for anyone who communicates.
