Dr. John Pollock Publishes New Book “Making Human Rights News: Balancing Participation and Professionalism”

Communication Studies professor John C. Pollock, along with late philosophy professor Morton Winston, edited a new book entitled Making Human Rights News: Balancing Participation and Professionalism, from Routledge. This book explores the impact of new digital technology and activism on the production of human rights messages. It is the first collection of studies to combine multidisciplinary approaches, “citizen witness” challenges to journalism ethics, and expert assessments of the “liberating role” of the Internet.
