> Presented by THE INSTITUTE OF COMMUNICATION ETHICS
> Monday 14th - Tuesday 15th June 2004 - 2 day conference
> to be held at The University of Lincoln, Brayford Pool, Lincoln LN6 7TS United Kingdom
>
> 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 integrity of information.
>
> What would such an ethical practice look like? Who would create and maintain it? How may the academy contribute? These are some of the 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 to begin a move towards creating a community of practice around the conference theme.
>
> A number of sub-themes are suggested, including the implications of information overload; political miscommunication and an 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.
