I apologize 2wins if this hits a sore spot but it wasn't intended to offend but was intended to be a discussion to where one would draw the line between journalistic ethics and the obligation to report. If there is another word that would suffice please by all means provide it. However don't try to shore up your argument with an insult given the intent wasn't there on the other end.
i see a lot of talk about these ethics, yet no examples.
Actually I did give an example; The UK doesn't print the faces of young children of those they cover, the US does. The UK press respected the request to blackout this story, the US didn't. IMO it is a matter of ethics to say stick a camera in a young childs face and plaster that image all over the world. That could put that childs life in danger because of it. If this isn't a matter of ethics what would you call it? principle? I have no problem changing the discussion to use the word principle?
