ABSTRACT

This special issue shows that "old ethics" don't always provide ready answers to problems raised by new technology. Exploring the perplexing topic of ethics in new media, this special issue:
*examines the ethics of the highly controversial 1998 Cincinnati Enquirer exposé of Chiquita Brands International;
*reports on a pilot project involving online journalists and online journalism graduate students;
*investigates the extent to which e-mail and listservs are--and could be--effective fora for journalists interested in exploring matters of ethics; and
*provides a useful annotated webliography of information resources.
