Free Speech and False Profits

Ethics in the Media

Ted Schwarz

Freedom of speech and freedom of the press are guaranteed by the First Amendment. Yet where do we as a society draw the line between tolerance and censorship? How are we to regulate the content of television, the press, movies, music lyrics, art-and now the Internet and the World Wide Web? Whose standards prevail? Whose ethics?

Best-selling author Ted Schwarz brings remarkable insight and clarity to this increasingly volatile debate. With an insider's eye, and drawing on famous and infamous cases and examples, he surveys the landscape of mass communication and records both disturbing and hopeful findings. Revealing highlights and lowlights in the checkered history of the media, Schwarz analyzes the hidden practices of contemporary media moguls, the dubious tactics of news gathering and delivery, the soul of televangelism, the decades-long controversy over music lyrics, and the emerging dilemmas of digital communication. Throughout, he raises fundamental questions about a society's responsibilities to its citizenry-and, ultimately, to the education of its children.

FREE SPEECH AND FALSE PROFITS is an engaging, entertaining, much-needed discussion of ethical issues that must be considered both by members of the media and by all who are touched by it.

TED SCHWARZ has written more than 80 books, well over 2,000 articles, and numerous radio and television shows. He has been an adjunct professor of journalism and mass communication at Northern Arizona University, and has appeared on more than 250 television and radio programs in the United States and Canada.
