MEDIA ETHICS SCENARIO #5

One of your best friends says she saw the new basketball coach smoking marijuana at a rock concert. You tell the newspaper adviser that someone told you about seeing him and that you plan to report it in your concert review. The coach tells you he wasn’t even at the concert. Do you report the allegation?

No, the report could be false. Unless there is evidence, do not report on it.

No, because it's not an actual source and it could be fake news.

No, because you dont know the truth.

No, you can't just go off of what other people say. You didn't see it first hand, and for all you know it could be slander.

No, you weren't at the concert yourself and anyone can say anything about anyone.

No because it can ruin the reputation of the coach and it could be fake.
