MEDIA ETHICS SCENARIO #1
A student at your school is highlighted on the local TV news. A reporter
for the school newspaper uses information from the TV newscast without
giving credit to the station. It turns out that several facts from the news
report are wrong. Do you admit the mistake? Do you tell how you got the
incorrect information?

I would admit to the mistake, and tell how I got the incorrect information and apologize for using uncredited information.
Yes, you have to admit that the information is incorrect. You do not necessarily have to admit where it came from.
No you don't because it's wrong and it's not right and it makes u look bad.
Yes, I would apologize for the mistake and share where we got the information. You should not be using uncredited information in the first place, so if you do that, you should face the consequences.
Yes, I would admit the mistake because it is an ethic to make sure not only you are telling the truth but your information is truthful. I would tell how I got the information because I think it is important for others to know the truth.
Yes I would come clean because if I didn't and I was caught my reputation as a journalist would go down.
