Ethics are great! Reading this ethics sheet we got in FIG class, i'm presented with a few things I was unaware of. For instance, the example presented in class of a journalist posing as a factory worker and subversively sneaking into a Nuclear Facility I would not have thought to be ethical. In looking closer, it does seem to be the only way to get that story. Other ethic problems aren't so difficult. Such as reporting troop movements in a war. It's a terrible idea to report those on air, for obvious reasons.
Ethics should always be foremost in a reporter's mind when writing a story. Bring the truth, and bring it fairly. Otherwise, all credibility will be lost.
