Using data bases to serve justice and maintain the public's trust
Journal of Mass Media Ethics 9 (4):235 – 242 (1994)
Abstract
Reporters' use of government data bases can create problems with serving justice and maintaining privacy. Although there are many advantages to the new reporting tool, problems can arise when the information is inaccurate or is misused for purposes other than originally intended. The ethical question of maintaining privacy while ful-filling the political function of the media is discussed. Suggested guidelines are given.My notes
