IAH204 Michigan State University Ethics in Media Essay
Writing
Please help me write this essay base on the outline I created below and according to the attachment
This is my outline of the attachment below:
Main #1: why is this particular photo raising an issue? briefly discuss why the photos created ethical issues?
Whats going on: a man went on a shooting rampage
Why this is particularly sensitive:
It happened at the printing plant next door to the paper
Reporters and p
hotographers know victims
8 people killed, 12 wounded
The photo:
Shooting victim Richard Barger, whos body is lying on a conveyor belt in the basement of the printing plant
Some journalists on the paper know him and his family
Problems
Violence: is the photo too graphic? Will it disturb those who know him?
Privacy: does the paper have the right to print it without the familys permission?
Insensitive: is the photo insensitive to Mr. Barger and the people who knew him?
