A new study on media ethics by Professor Emeritus Skaidrīte Lasmane

The article “Emotional mood and media ethics in crisis communication” by Skaidrīte Lasmane, the Leading Researcher of the Advanced Social and Political Research Institute and Professor Emeritus of the Department of Communication Studies of the Faculty of Social Sciences of the UL, has been published in the collective monograph “Global Pandemics and Media Ethics. Issues and Perspectives” issued by the publishing house “Routledge.”

The publisher emphasizes: “This topical volume illuminates ethical issues brought to the fore by the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing on a broad range of case studies from different regions, it provides insights into the multiple and complex ways in which the pandemic has shaped media ethics. The chapters employ a wide range of innovative theoretical and methodological approaches to dissect enduring and emerging ethical questions during the pandemic, providing lucid accounts of axiological dimensions in pandemic discourses, ethics of emotional mood, ethical challenges and dilemmas in news reporting, propaganda, misinformation, disinformation and Othering.”

Professor Skaidrīte Lasmane’s research was carried out in the Latvian Science Council Fundamental and Applied Research Program project “Jeopardizing Democracy through Disinformation and Conspiracies: Reconsidering Experience of Latvia” (lzp-2019/1-0278).
