Excerpt: Ethics has always been part of a Mass Communication core, but I wondered what rethinking production courses. What if instead of teaching ethics separately, we considered an educated media-maker as one who makes ethical decisions at each step of the process--before taking a camera out of the case, before hitting record, before posting a single frame online? What if we taught video production this way in order to emphasize the power, responsibility and risk inherent in each choice.
