Digital media ethics and museum communication
Year: 2018
Type: book-chapter
Abstract: This chapter explores the emerging field of digital museum ethics scholarship and uses a number of analytical examples to suggest four issues that museum professionals working in and with the digital should be aware of. These are: user contributions and debates about how to value them; risk and its management; playing with the truth; and power and its negotiation. The chapter demonstrates that the appraisal of ethical issues within the digital environment is fast becoming an institutional and personal/professional priority, intersecting with debates that are currently underway about museums’ relevance and responsibilities.
