MEDIA ETHICS SCENARIO #2
A well-known musician is filming an anti-smoking PSA (public service
announcement) at your school. The school newspaper photographer gets
pictures of him smoking a cigarette during a break. Your photo editor
wants to run the photograph with the cutline “Rock Star Filmed AntiSmoking
PSA on Tuesday.” Do you reword the caption?

Yes because it's hilarious.
I would rewrite the caption because the caption would not be correct. You should expose the musician.
I would not use the photos of the musician smoking because he wants to be a good influence. I would not reword the caption to promote not smoking
yes, to make it more appropriete.
Journalism is about sharing the truth. I would perhaps publish the article with a different picture and re-worded caption promoting not smoking, but then leak/share the picture of the musician smoking later. They should not be a role model for people if they are a hypocrite.
Yes, so the caption is truthful to the image.
I would because it would be hypocritical to an extent.
