ETHICS IN THE NEWS ADDRESSES CURRENT EVENTS WITH AN EYE TO THE ETHICAL ISSUES THEY RAISE. THE ESSAYS, WRITTEN BY PARR CENTER FELLOWS, ARE DESIGNED TO BE BOTH ACCESSIBLE AND THOUGHT PROVOKING. SOMETIMES THE ESSAYS DISCUSS ETHICAL ISSUES THAT LIE "BELOW THE SURFACE" OF MOST MEDIA DISCUSSIONS; OTHER TIMES, THEY CONCENTRATE ON ITEMS THAT, THOUGH OBVIOUSLY OF ETHICAL SIGNIFICANCE, ARE OF SUCH IMPORTANCE OR COMPLEXITY THAT THEY ARE ESPECIALLY DESERVING OF CRITICAL DISCUSSION AND PHILOSOPHICAL REFLECTION.
