COMM 1003—Week 4 Application: Case Studies for Media Ethics

 

 

Case Study #1: Ethics and the News

 

 

Jane is getting ready to go on the air for the 6 p.m. evening newscast at the small local TV station. As she prepares for the broadcast, she considers how she will approach the stories she has been assigned. Which tone would grab the attention of the viewers the best?

 

The number three story tonight is about a terrorist bombing at a hospital in a country on the other side of the world. Her story! Jane is also the editor of the story and is excited because her crews at the scene sent her great video: highly graphic and violent images that will create a greater impact on her audience.

 

“This will really get me noticed by the big network executives,” thinks Jane, as she puts the finishing touches on her story.

 

As she goes to get coffee, she tells her friend Mark about the story. Mark, however, does not share her enthusiasm. “Don’t you see that you’re doing just what the terrorists want? You’re just going to encourage them. If we want to stop terrorism, we should just stop covering it.”

 

“Yeah” Jane says, “But that’s not our job. Our job is to report the news. We also want to beat Channel 10 in the ratings. I’ll bet they’re going to run it…”

 

“I know,” Mark says. “But one of my journalism professors pounded us with the idea that we’re supposed to report the news, not make the news. I worry that encouraging terrorism by reporting it is crossing that line.”

 

“I don’t know, Mark. But I’ve got a deadline to meet. Catch you later.”

 

Case Study #2: Ethics and Investors

 

Danny is an investigative reporter for KLHM, a local cable television station. He recently found out that in the nearby town of Oran, a number of people have been reportedly sick because of toxic fumes from a local factory. He pitches the story to the news director, Bill.

“This is a good one, Bill.” Danny says. “It fits our market perfectly: small town, environmental issues, human tragedy. And it’s local. There’s enough there for a multipart series.”

 

“Well, Danny, it sounds interesting. Pretty big and expensive. I don’t know…,” Bill mutters.

 

“C’mon. This is the kind of thing we got into journalism for. Everybody knows it’s the Carnemort factory causing the sickness. This is cancer, Bill. Not just old people. Kids, moms. Even the family dogs, for crying out loud.”

 

“OK, Danny. See what you can do.”

 

Danny spends the next few days setting up interviews, organizing camera crews, and doing background research so he can get into Oran over the weekend when most people will be free to be interviewed. On Thursday, Bill calls Danny into his office.

 

“Danny, the Loam County Fair is this weekend,” Bill says.

 

“Yep” says Danny. “First time I’m going to miss it in years. Got everything ready with the folks in Oran.”

 

“Well, Danny…I’d like you and your crews to cover the Fair.”

 

“WHAT? How will we get the Oran story done? Everything’s set up!”

 

“We’ve got that country band from the high school that just made a record in Nashville. They’re playing the grandstand for a big coming-home concert. I think it will make a good story,” Bill says, looking at his desk.

 

“Get someone else: I’m going to Oran.” Danny grumbles, turning to leave.

 

“I think we’ll skip the Oran story, Danny.”

 

Danny stops. “What do you mean? It’s ready to go.”

 

“How much background research did you do on Carnemort, Danny?”

 

“Lots. They’ve been there for ages.”

 

“Who owns them, Danny?”

 

“Some conglomerate,” Danny snaps.

 

“Yes: Amalgamated Group Enterprise. What else does AGE own?”

 

Danny sits down heavily. “KLHM.”

 

“I’ll meet you Saturday at the Fair, at 1,” Bill says. “Chili dogs are on me.”

n preparation for this assignment, please view the Jurisville scenarios and resulting simulations from Weeks 5 through 7 in Unit 2: Courts.

In the scenarios and resulting simulations, Tim Smith, senior criminal lawyer, discusses select cases and asks a paralegal to indicate which courts would have exclusive jurisdiction of the cases in question. He also discusses various pretrial procedures and illustrates them with select cases. Finally, Tim Smith introduces the case of Roland Gary, who served twenty-three (23) years in prison for a crime that he did not commit. The case brought to light several key issues, along with the manner in which they were resolved.

Use the Internet to research three real-life cases from the past five (5) years that fit the following criteria:

• Cases that depict the unique processes related to different courts
• The defendant accepted a plea bargain as an alternative to trial
• The defendant was wrongly accused and later vindicated

Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:

1. Discuss one (1) real-life criminal case, taken from current events, and identify the court that took jurisdiction. Explain why the court that took the case was the appropriate one for the particular circumstances.
2. Discuss the real-life case that you have selected, in which the defendant accepted a plea bargain as an alternative to trial. Give your opinion on whether or not justice was served in the case in question. Provide a rationale for the response.
3. Discuss the real-life case that you selected, in which, like Roland Gary, the defendant was wrongly accused and later vindicated. Explore one (1) key aspect of the case and examine its relation to the case at large. Describe the resolution to the selected case.
4. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format.
