GHOSTWRITING AND THE ETHICS OF AUTHENTICITY IBD

Sinopse

âÇïThis book presents an ethical framework which evaluates the legitimacy ofáthe practice of ghostwriting. It explores the connection between personaláauthenticity and the use of ghostwriters in corporate, political, legal, higheráeducation, and scientific contexts. It then examines the history ofághostwriting as a professional practice and introduces a model for ethicaláanalysis.In this book, the authors shrewdly address crucial ethical questions sucháas: When is it acceptable for a leader to claim the words of a ghostwriter asátheir own? When may this be inappropriate or even dangerouslyámisleading? What are the consequences when public awareness of thisápractice leads to cynicism about the authenticity of leaders and theirácommunications? And when, if ever, is the use of a ghostwriter ethical?áThis book will be welcomed by scholars and practitioners alike as anáoriginal and timely contribution to the literature of business, politics, andácommunications.
