While ethics is a study of morality, it is also a core part of the human communication. Ethics in communication considers what is right or wrong according to a person’s behaviors in a society that affects other persons’ lives. Editor of the book believes that this piece is a influential contribution to research of communication ethics.

There are interviews with nine different scholars talks about their understanding of communication ethics with people. They also mention the experiences that they have in interviews. Additionally, scholars ask questions about communication ethics for further research about the issue.

The book is very well written. For people who concerns about ethics, it is a good way to learn from experiences and ideas from important scholars. On the other hand, it might be hard to read for those who are not use to read interview-style or conference type book. Finally, I recommend Exploring Communication Ethics especially to my colleagues.
