If we were in 2005 should your media outlet go along with the states request not to release the information?

           No, I do not believe that the media should keep the prison stand off a secret. I believe this because the gaurds' have families that were worried about them and they want the truth not some half true story.  Plus if the prisoners could do that whats to keep them from escaping the prison, the people should be warned to take some caution such as not going out after dark by oneself or not letting a child play in the yard without someone watching them.  All of this makes me believe that the media should have released the information in 2205 about the prison standoff. 

Communication ethics vs. personal ethics

           Communication ethics are supposed to be neutral and their ethics should try to please everyone.  Personal ethics apply to that one person and that one person only, it can change for one person it might be wrong to lie whilst another person may lie all the time.  Though Communication Ethics should remain neutral, they may allow their personal ethics to get in the way of writing an honest story.  At the same time though they also need to consider the fact that both personal and communication ethics can be the same for a person but the journalist must tough it out and do their best to remain neutral until they have completed their article.

American Food-What is really healthy?

            Yes, I do believe that we should tell people about what they are actually eating when they eat "healthy" food.  If we do so then we might be able to help child obesity become better, we might also get people to exercise more working off any of the fattening food they may eat.  I also believe we should have a setion in every paper that tells about the healthy restraunts and meals to make.  If we do so then maybe people would stop going to places that feed you fake healthy food.  If we can make healthier, smaller meals that would also be a way to help obesity as well as encourage other people to eat healthier.  Other things we can do to make the world more aware of what they eat is have meeting between people that shows the healthy choice as well as the unhealthy choice and then show the results of what can happen with each choice, like regular peanut butter compared to just peanuts and oil. That is what I belive we should do about becomig healthier

It this type of flight news worthy?

           No, I do not believe this story to be news worthy because there are more important things in the world. Sure, some people would find it interesting but at the moment it has nothing to do with our world. When they find something interesting like how to defy gravity, then they can put it in the paper. I also believe that there are more important things we have to know such as any new diseases that scientists have come across or the economical status of the United States. That is why I believe that it is not an important topic for news papers to write about.

Is it ethical to tape a person unknowingly?

           I believe that sometimes it can be ethical  to tape someone unknowingly.  If it is an important matter such as a witness report on a bank robbery and they don't want you to tape them, than yes I believe that you should secretly tape them, especially if they remember something important that they forgot to tell the police.  In other times such as an interview for maybe a small sports event and they don't want you to tape them than you should respect their opinion.  I for one would understand something important such as a witness report to be secretly taped because that stuff might convict someone but for anything else I would be enraged because they had gone against what I said.  In my opinion it depends on the reason for the interview because it can go both ways. I think the real question is would you secretly tape someone without their knowing? If you're honest with yourself, you would say it depends on the case. That is why I believe that it sometimes it can be ethical to secretly tape someone during an interviem

Social Networks

           Yes, I believe that social networks have revolutionized the News,Businesses, and even people communicating and making friends.  It has revolutionized the news by them being able to find other information like if they are doing a live report, but are missing a few details they can real quick go on to google and look up the missing facts.  Businesses have been affected because now they can sell their products on the Internet they can also work with people across the country without having to leave their home.  People have begun to depend on social networks such as face book to make friends, they meet a new person but only have a minute to talk they say "I'll face book you later tonight," and then they become friends that way they might not even see each other again after that!  Everybody also always talks about the gossip from such places they will talk about their favorite picture or what happened between two of their friends and how they will refuse to talk to each other because of a accepting a new friend. Everyone in this world has changed because of social networks: businesses can sell their products easier, people make new freinds and talk to people they might not talk to normally more, and then News have benefitted from it as well because they can get facts easier.
