Who can provide me with some cases of journalistic professional ethics anomie?

In March, 1994, The Hungry Little Girl filmed by South African journalist kevin carter won the Pulitzer Prize for Photography of the Year. On the night of July 27th, Carter committed suicide by taking carbon monoxide.

The reporter caught the cyclist falling in the rain.

On the afternoon of May 9th, 2005, Tamia Liu, a photojournalist of Southeast Evening News, searched the street with his camera on his back. It was raining lightly and the sky was gloomy. Liu realized that it was going to rain heavily, and it was often easy to make news on rainy days. He plans to take some photos to reflect the impact of heavy rain on people. He walked along Yufeng Road to the crowded railway station.

We will reach the crossroads of the wind, and there will be a storm. He hid in front of a roadside hotel. A citizen who was sheltering from the rain saw Liu carrying a camera bag and said, "Are you a reporter? There is a pit at this intersection, which often makes people fall. You can report it. " This reminds Tamia Liu.

He chose a position and changed the camera to a telephoto lens of 80-200. After the lens was polished, he found that the angle was very small, and telephone booths, trees and passing cars often blocked the line of sight. He doesn't know where the pit is, and a small lens may not be able to capture it.

Liu changed a position closer to the intersection, and changed the telephoto lens to 12-24, which made it easier to capture the needed information. Then set the camera to continuous shooting.

Pedestrians passed by one by one, and I kept taking pictures with my camera, and no one fell. About 1 hour passed, and Liu was a little discouraged. He hung the camera around his neck, holding it in one hand and pressing the shutter button in the other.

A man in a white hat and an umbrella rode by on a bicycle and suddenly heard a "wow". He subconsciously pointed the camera at the man and pressed the shutter with his right hand.

Then he looked at the photo he had just taken, and even he was shocked. The man didn't fall off the side as expected, but leaned forward. This impact effect is hard to find.

Liu said that he didn't see how he fell, let alone stare at the viewfinder. By the time I came to my senses, the man had slowly climbed up. His car is not broken and he is not injured. He looked at me and left.

Excited, he suddenly woke up and felt that he should do something. Liu found a stick about 2 meters long and about 10 cm thick nearby, and tried to stand in the pit to warn passers-by, but the stick stood unsteadily. After being reminded by passers-by, he found a road sign on a nearby construction site and put it at the intersection, then returned to the newspaper office with his camera.

Liu Yin, a photojournalist signed by Xinhua News Agency, chose a group of photos to send to Xinhua News Agency that night. The next day, Xinhua News Agency issued a draft.

The next day, the rain stopped. He felt it necessary to do a follow-up report, so he came to the intersection again and found three or four small pits like that, but fortunately they had been filled in. (Tamia Liu's narrative in an interview with reporters)

The next day, the Southeast Evening News published this group of photos. When editing and publishing this group of photos, "we consider that it may cause controversy, but the responsibility of the media tells us that disclosing the facts to attract the attention of more levels and departments of society is more conducive to solving the problem and also has a warning effect to prevent similar' tragedies' from repeating. It is much more effective than letting reporters stand in front of the "problem puddle" to remind them one by one. Considering that the advantages of publishing this group of pictures outweigh the disadvantages, we edited them to remind people that small problems will often lead to great tragedies if they are not solved. Tell people the importance of nip in the bud. " (Editor's readme)

CCTV, Xinhua News Agency, Beijing Youth Daily, Dragon TV and Sina.com started a discussion on "professional ethics" and "journalists' conscience" about this group of photos.

Wang v. Zhang et al.

1July, 1998, Wang had a sex-change operation in the hospital, and his original unit terminated his labor contract. Later, he had no choice but to work in a county in Gansu. 1in may, 999, Wang invited a reporter from a metropolis daily to interview him, and described in detail the ins and outs of his sex-change operation, and provided 3,000 words of written life experience materials. Zhang took a picture of Wang. Zhang asked not to use his real name and photo in the report.

Zhang arranged the interview materials into an article and published it in the metropolis daily together with photos. In this paper, Wang's real name is used to describe, narrate and render Zhang's psychological process before and after sex-change surgery in detail. Since then, Zhang has contributed articles to Modern Women. Modern Women was published in the eighth issue of that year with the title of Transgender King.

After the article was published, it caused a sensation in the county where Wang was located. Wang claimed that he was unemployed again because he couldn't stand the pressure of public opinion.

1September, 1999, Wang sued the local people's court on the grounds of infringing his reputation, demanding that the three plaintiffs (reporter Zhang, Metropolis Daily and Modern Women's Magazine) stop the infringement, eliminate the influence, restore his reputation, publicly apologize and compensate for mental losses. (Wang complained: "I agreed to publish this article at that time. Unexpectedly, reporter Zhang used my real name in the article and published photos. My personal privacy is exposed to the fullest, which makes me unable to work and live. " )

We believe that the defendant Zhang wrote an article concerning the privacy of the plaintiff Wang and published it in newspapers and periodicals. Although Wang agreed, Wang did not know what the defendant Zhang specifically wrote, how to write it, and to what extent. The defendant published the written article in newspapers and periodicals without the consent of the plaintiff, which brought inconvenience to the work and life of the plaintiff Wang and constituted infringement of the right of reputation. After accepting mediation by the court, the plaintiff and the three defendants voluntarily reached an agreement: Zhang compensated 4000 yuan, a metropolis newspaper compensated 6000 yuan, and a modern women's magazine compensated 5000 yuan.
