Media ethics

INSTRUCTIONS:

Topic: I would like you to analyze an ethical question in the mass media. It can be an issue the media are facing now or could face in the future. The issue can be local, national or international in scope.   Develop a broad ethical question that you would like to explore and write a minimum of 700 words describing it. Examples of a broad ethical questions are (don`t use these): • Should TV news programs show dead bodies during their newscasts? • Should downloading music from free file-sharing sites be a crime? • Should rape victims be identified in news stories? • Are vulgar, racist and sexist remarks in the mass media ever OK? • Do TV dramas "ripped from the headlines" distort the news? Explore your issue using researched sources. This is NOT an opinion paper, but a paper that requires valid sources.   In other words, you should find examples from the media that illustrate your issue. Feel free to send me message if you have any questions. At the end of your paper, a works-cited page with a minimum of three sources is required.   To help you decide on a topic, here are some ideas (you are allowed to cite only ONE article (as a source) from the link below, the others should be found on your own):   Indiana University School of Journalism http://journalism.indiana.edu/resources/ethics/   To. Writer -Even if I checked on `3 sources needed` , it doesn`t mean that the writer can use only 3 sources. But minimum 3 sources needed for this paper. The writer still can use sources from web BUT!! Please CITED at the end of the paper where your references came from -If you need to summarize the sources you found from web, make them short. Do Not spend too many space to just summarize the sources you found. -The overuse of “I think,” “In my opinion” or “I believe.” Once again, most of the time it`s not necessary to use these. These are your papers and what you write is what you think or believe. -Attribution. I expect you to attribute facts and figures to the source. - Please understand that I go to college in hawaii and im an international student from south Korea(Woman). please do use easy an simple grammar like a international student.
