Journal of Information Ethics
Call for Papers

Documentary films combine “message” and “metaphor” to balance arguments (message) with narrative, visual effects, symbolic imagery, and score (metaphor). Ethical issues are crucial because documentary filmmakers use message and metaphor to make representations or mount arguments about subjects to persuade audiences of their views.

The Journal of Information Ethics invites essays that analyze how ethics shape the filmmaker’s representation of a subject in a specific documentary and/or the audience’s reception of the film.
