JRN 335: Ethical Issues in News Media

Library Search tool for finding scholarly sources

Use the Library search tool to find scholarly sources that are both directly about journalism and events/topics that are covered by journalists.

Search tips

Since you only need one scholarly source, try for one that is specifically focused on ethics.

A couple of searches that worked well for me:

journalism ethic*  (the asterisk at the end will prompt Library Search to look for either ethics or ethical)

photojournalism ethic*

You could then try narrowing the search down closer to your topic by adding another word or word.

journalism ethic* war

journalism ethic* celebrity

journalism ethic* race (or racism)

You could also use news or "news media" to replace journalism, which will change up the results or for photojournalism try news images or news photographs.
