Shattered Glass: Conclusion & Article

After viewing the film Shattered Glass, please write a 300-400 word article on "The Ethics of Journalism". Use the film and the sources provided to you in your article as secondary evidence. Make sure you attribute your quotes or textual support within the article as appropriate.

Key ideas to discuss:
  • Why is it important that journalists have an ethical code to follow?
  • Why is accuracy, credibility, and objectivity important for a journalist?
  • Should we forgive journalists who plagiarize or make-up data or sources?
  • Why is truth, attribution, or credible sources important in journalism reporting?
If you do not complete your writing today, please complete as homework. The article assignment is due Thursday.

HOMEWORK: We will hold a discussion on these issues as well on Thursday. Please complete your article draft to turn in Thursday.
