>At a time when there is so much information and so many are involved in 
>the information-communication process, there appears to be an 
>unprecedented need for an ethics of communication practice and an agreed

>questions we seek to address in this conference on research and practice.
>The conference organising committee are calling for papers - including 
>case studies, literature reviews, ethnographic studies and thought pieces 
>- from interested academics and professional communicators. We aim to 
>examine an ethics of multiple information environments , and begin a move 
>toward creating a community of practice round the conference theme.

>information overload; political miscommunication and and ethics of the 
>public realm; uses of email (as recently highlighted in the Hutton 
>inquiry); implications of the web for establishing closer contact with 
>journalism sources and readers (OR: media sources and consumers): the 
>impact of the rise of bloggers and alternative news sites on media 
>standards; the epistemological effects of cyberspace; pedagogic techniques 
>in ethics and communication teaching; issues of stakeholderism and 
>dialogue: whistle blowing as a sign of individual (mis) alignment with 
>organisation culture and the ethics of auditing culture and measuring 
>behaviour.

>Space: the international journal of communication ethics will be published
