MPJO-500 Ethics in Journalism

MPJO-500 Ethics in Journalism
Faculty:
  • Shepard, Alicia
    • The MPS program aims to educate the whole person and believes that this process starts with the study of ethics. Looking at ethics through a professional lens, this course asks students to explore their own values and challenges them to codify and commit to their own code of ethics in relationship to professional codes of conduct and best practices. Students will gain a solid foundation in ethics and relate what they learn to their own professional situation through class discussions, case studies, and guest lectures conducted by Georgetown University ethicists as well as communications professionals. This course is required for all MPS students and must be completed by the second semester in the program.

    Class open to journalism students in the MPS only.
    Credits: 3
    Prerequisites: None
