The question to be answered in the paper

Is it okay for a reporter to not reveal certain things in order to save people?

A link to the published blog, article, case study, or news story in the text entry field.

My take on this ethnical dilemma:

Although the media practitioner for this case, Eason Jordan, did a good deed by trying to keep Baghdad bureau open and trying to save and protect the lives of its employees and sources, I feel like Jordan still should have revealed that the network had known about Saddam Husseins human rights abuses since 1990. Because he chose to go down this route, an uncountable amount of Iraqis have suffered. If he had just revealed this, everything could have been evaded.

For the Ethical Analysis Paper, your assignment will be to identify a case in media ethics in which you would have acted differently than the media practitioner(s) at the center of it. The paper should be organized in a way that makes clear how you will answer the six major questions from Doing Ethics in Media:

1. What’s your problem?  Briefly describe the case. (You may attach a published blog, article, case study, or news story as a link or as an appendix for background.) Spell out what makes this situation a moral dilemma. Leave yourself with a clearly stated question to be answered. You must clearly name your media practitioner.
2. Why not follow the rules?  Are there some precedents, guidelines, codes, or laws you should keep in mind? If so, are there reasons your dilemma can’t be resolved by them?  You must analyze the case with the codes of ethics and justification models you choose.
3. Who wins, who loses?  Who are the stakeholders, and what impact is your decision likely to have on each of them in the short term and in the long term?
