"This book provides useful pointers to help journalists navigate the dilemmas they face in the professional practice. It provides an enlightening overview of the views of Mauritian journalists on their own industry and an in-depth look at the South African model for self-regulation. As part of the ethical approach, the book also reviews the main issues related to gender-senstive reporting, in view of the significant role the media have to play in genedr education.... Journalism is a public good and the need to a clear social contract is stronger than ever in a world where transparency and acoountability are on the agenda. Mechanisms for ensuring ethical practice are essential and should be hailed as beacons for a stronger journalism." -- Back cover.
