Deadline for abstracts: January 30, 2007

Ethical Space, the international journal of  communication ethics, welcomes the submission of papers and articles for this special issue on the ethics of communication online. A decade on from the rapid diffusion of the Internet into everyday communication, what do we know about the ethical practices and problems of online communication? Where and under what conditions do we see ethical communication emerging, both public and interpersonal? Do the communication professions and industries perform more or less ethically online? The editors invite contributions addressing these and related questions. Contributions may cover matters such as:

* issues around citizen journalism
* censorship and propaganda online
* the online surveillance of marketing
* the ethics of self-publishing
* the ethics of Intranets
* email ethics

* online global networks and the collision of ethical frameworks
* theorising the ethics of interactivity
* the regulation of cyberspace
