Abstract
This paper will highlight the need to consider the ethical implications of current trends in the entertainment industry where the balance has shifted from entertainment or artistic focus to mobilising film and television as marketing communications texts. We set our analysis in a historical perspective regarding the role of film and television in influencing behaviour and attitudes and considerations around the ethics of persuasion. We then look at developments in the contemporary film and television industries to highlight the need for ethical frameworks to govern developments in the entertainment industries. We specifically focus on developments in branded entertainment and algorithmic marketing to question contemporary taste making and the ethical implications implicit in these contemporary marketing practices.
