Ethics In The Media

 PUBLISHING DRUNK DRIVER' PHOTO:

Don White takes pictures of the people they catch drunk driving and post their pictures in the newspaper. He posts the pictures cause he knows that people don't like it and he hopes posting pictures will stop drunk driving. Since people don't want their drunk photo taken they will stop drinking and driving.

As long as people aren't extremely angry then its totally fine. Its a way to try and keep their town safe and keep drunk drivers of the road. But on the other hand its also not okay because it makes some people mad and they don't want their picture out which is invading privacy.



WHO'S THE "PREDATOR"

A television newsmagazine work with law enforcement to catch a group of men who are trying to sexually hurt kids. The men set up a face to face with some kids at the kids house and when they showed up they came face to face with a reporter who recorded everything. When they left they ran into the cops and the men later killed themselves.

It is a 100% not ethically acceptable to try and sexually hurt kids. They are young and can't think properly for themselves. But it is 100% okay to stop the men and wait for them to show up and record everything they say.


NAMING VICTIMS OF SEX CRIMES

People abducted or killed children and sexually hurt them. Lots of kids are abducted and hurt, some are never seen and some are tracked down and found. The abductees are sometimes found and when found they face serious punishments.

This is not ethically acceptable kids should not have to worry about being abducted out of their own room or while riding a bike. People should not rape or sexually hurt kids its not okay for a kid to have to experience that.
