Some reporters and editors had different views on how journalism ethics could be a business model in itself.

LA MAYOR HISPANIC FAMILY VALUES INCLUDES HAS AFFAIR WITH Telemundo Mirthala Salinas?

Posted on April 16th, 2010 by admin in journalistic ethics | 15 Comments »

Now get this–"I conducted myself in an appropriate way," says Mirthala Salinas, shown with L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.
Can sleeping with another womans husband can be called appropriate behavior, is this family values we hear so much about?
?LOS ANGELES, California (AP) — Spanish-language network Telemundo has placed a newscaster on leave while it investigates whether her romantic relationship with Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa breached journalistic ethics, TV station KVEA said ThursdayThe Telemundo affiliate announced the investigation two days after Villaraigosa, whose wife has filed for divorce, acknowledged he had been in an extramarital affair with newswoman Mirthala Salinas for about a year.

"We will conduct this investigation with the utmost respect to personal privacy and journalistic standards," said Manuel Abud, the station’s general manager.

The mayor’s office had no comment, Villaraigosa spokesman Sean Clegg said.

Salinas said in a statement that she would cooperate with the investigation. She said, "I am confident that when all the facts are analyzed, it will be clear that I conducted myself in an appropriate way."

Salinas once covered the mayor as a political reporter. Telemundo took her off the political beat about 11 months ago after she disclosed her relationship to station management, the mayor has said.

Still, as the station’s news anchor, Salinas read an on-air report last month on the mayor’s separation from his wife. At the time, Villaraigosa declined to say whether he was involved with another woman.
Since confirming his romantic relationship with Salinas at a news conference Tuesday, Villaraigosa has all but disappeared.

if you ask me, she is a homewrecking tramp, but don’t blame her entirely. It takes two to tango, and Mayor Villariagosa has cheated before on his wife. Back in the 90s when his wife was in hospital with thyroid cancer, he messed around with one of her friends, one of the godmothers of his children. Nice guy, huh?

Are journalists required to disclose their profession during interviews?

Posted on April 12th, 2010 by admin in journalistic ethics | 5 Comments »

Let’s say you are talking to people from your former workplace as well as other people at varying levels of bureaucracy. You are writing something about the experience of working there (healthcare related) – but you are not a professional journalist and never have been. If this gets published, it will be on spec, or whatever it’s called. If someone asks why you are asking these questions, must you say "I want to write about this stuff"? Or should you have said it already?

I would like to think this falls into the David Sedaris rule. He just writes about his life – and for the most part, all the questions I’m asking are detail, safe, and non-inflammatory.

I looked at the Journalistic code of ethics but it did not address this issue directly. Said something about "integrity." I am not certain of where I stand.

Well, I’m going to say yes, if you are interviewing people for the story, you need to let them know before you do the interview that you’re writing an article on spec and may be quoting them. If you are just writing your experiences and not doing interviews, then I’d say no advance notice is needed.

How accurate are financial magazines?

Posted on April 10th, 2010 by admin in journalistic ethics | 1 Comment »

I’m not asking how great are they at predicting markets. I’m instead asking how unbiased and thorough are financial magazines such as Money and Forbes? In essence which are the most committed to due diligence and journalistic ethics as apposed to simply shock value and novelty to sell magazines?

Most financial magazines are biased and serve big business interest instead of investor interest.
