Table of contents:
We have all had the experience of reading the newspaper or watching the television and of being deeply moved by some of the horrors we read about or see, some of the suffering and misery which other people are forced to experience through no fault of their own. However, little sustained academic attention has been devoted to this matter. This book remedies that neglect by pulling together a wide range of literature in order to open up a new field of investigation about the relationships between compassion, morality and the media. The book is well-suited to be used as a course text in sociology, cultural studies and media studies, but it also raises questions of importance to academic researchers on the media, morality, and charitable giving.
Contents:
Series editor's foreword Introduction Parameters for a debate Compassion fatigue and the ethics of the journalistic field The compassion of the audience Lifting the lid on compassion Telethons, investments and gifts Conclusion Glossary Bibliography Index.
