Over the years journalists have been jailed for failing to reveal confidential sources to the court despite being guided by code of ethics. Journalist should only reveal their confidential sources to the court if the information may harm national security or disclose is necessary to show the innocence of an accused. If a journalist reveals confidential sources without reason the result will be breach of confidentiality and limited flow of information to journalist. In this essay will discuss the
How far should journalists go to protect their sources? Confidential sources should only be used as a last resort because in some extraordinary situations there is precedence in which it is warranted or morally advisable to reveal a source; therefore a journalist should only extend anonymity when it is absolutely necessary to get the story and if a journalist feels so strongly that his or her source must be protected, then he or she should be willing to go to jail to do the protecting. The simple
Global Sourcing is the method of sourcing from the global market across geographical boundaries for goods and services. As competition between industries increases, the importance and role of purchasing has similarly enlarged. As today’s companies’ effectiveness is directly connected to the competitiveness of their supply base, hence many businesses have carried out global sourcing strategy to gain access to the best supplier’s potential. According to Trent and Monczka, global sourcing helps companies
Reporter’s Privilege Journalism has grown and developed over the years along with journalistic ethics. Journalists have a code of ethics or a moral compass. Every story that a reporter produces has either a named or unnamed source. Several states have protective laws designed for reporters who have stories with anonymous sources, but Mississippi is one of the only states in America that does not have a shield law in place. Mississippi should enact a shield law giving reporters the privilege not
addressed if a sourcing team is to ensure that its organization receives the right quality, in the right quantity, on time, with the right services, at the right price. In recent years, the term "foreign sourcing" has largely been replaced with "international sourcing": the process of purchasing from suppliers outside of the firm's country of manufacture. At a number of leading firms, international sourcing is being replaced with a broader international approach called "global sourcing." Professor
judgements on the issue of the time” . The power, content and reach of news in today’s world is almost incalculable due to globalization and advances in communication technology. However, in the 1960’s a prevalent charge was brought against news journalism led by the New World Information and Communication Order (NWICO), which centred on the unequal balance in representation of nations in global coverage and reports. Western or ‘First World’ states were being accused by the smaller, less-developed
the research questions is given. Finally findings, discussion and conclusion are presented. This research examines two sourcing strategies for Swedish apparel companies. When China is getting increasingly expensive to operate in, isn’t there a closer favourable option for Swedish apparel companies to manufacture their garments?

the global sourcing strategies in order to reduce cost and in order to improve the performance of their global supply chains. Supplier involvement has been an important development in global sourcing and as a focus on core competence within the organizations. Outsourcing has been used for the products within the companies where purchasing had the major role of ordering
Bias in Coverage of War It’s true the media can shape the views of the public and can serve as a legitimate source that is empowered to analyze a situation and propose possible solutions because it allows the public to believe in its credibility and impartiality, at least that is what we seem to know. However, in reality, research and studies have shown that the media can generate dissent from the public by focusing or repeating information intended to sway the public. The Arab-Israeli conflict has
The competition in journalism motivates reporters to uncover stories faster than their opposition. A problem occurs when journalists forgo a thorough investigation in order to get their story out quicker. If a story’s accuracy is in question then the credibility of that publication is now at risk. Rolling Stone published an article about a fraternity’s gang rape of a University of Virginia freshman. The story follows the rape victim’s life after the attack and is critical of the university’s actions
newspapers and other hard copy text were the primary sources to receive new information; during this time reporters had plenty of time to gather information and verify it through multiple sources before a story was published. Today that way of journalism is nearly no existent. Now is the time of one touch send on a iPhone; the rise of the Internet and TV networks has in many cases encouraged journalists toward pushing out news as fast as possible.

Objectivity in Journalism Merriam Webster defines objectivity as expressing or dealing with facts or conditions as perceived without distortion by personal feelings, prejudices, or interpretations. Objectivity, as defined by the school of media ethics, means standing so far from the community that you see all events and all viewpoints as equally distant and important, or unimportant for that matter. It is employed by giving equal weight to all viewpoints--or, if not, giving all an interesting
Media vs. Parenting What impact does sex, violence, drugs, etc. in the media have on children? What can we do about it? How do we balance the tension between freedom of expression and the need to protect children? When you talk about the media and whether or not it is harmful on children, you must examine the whole industry and all aspects of its effects on children. It is that the media as a whole is not as harmful to children as some intense other can, but over exposure to certain aspects
Blaming the Media for the Worldwide Increase in Violence The mass media are an increasingly accessible way for people to learn what is important in the world today and what is acceptable behaviour in this society. Media outlets include film, radio, print, music and so on; film being the most widely used medium. The media which is prevalent in every aspect of our lives, is the perfect instrument to instil ideas in the minds of the people, and the most susceptible of them all, children. During
This weeks essay is about censorship in school newspapers. When I first thought of the idea of writing about it, I thought it would be easier than the last one we did about gun control. And it turned out it was a little bit easier in writing it because in this one I don’t have to ramble about all the statistics that I learned about the subject and end up boring the class to a almost certain drowsy state. Which in my opinion isn’t exactly what I am looking to do when I am writing
Introduction In the contemporary media world, where the 'advertorials' probably bear more importance than the 'editorials', I believe it should be interesting to know how the Father of our Nation, Mahatma Gandhi, contributed to the fields of journalism and mass communication. An effective communicator, Gandhi was fearless and eloquent with his words. He reached out to millions of people and convinced them of his cause. According to Chalapathi Raju, an eminent editor, Gandhi was probably the
The Effects of Media on Our Lives Social Scientists say that the average American watches too much television and plays too many video games. I would agree with this, because in high school that is all I did, but not so much for me anymore. Back when I was in high school that is all I did. Watch television, play Nintendo, hang out with my friends. However, now that I am in college, I have had to change my ways. It helps a lot that I don't have either one of those in my dorms. The media though

thoroughness and honesty. Professional integrity is the cornerstone of a journalist's credibility.” Gary Deen. In Journalism, honesty and truth are the key points. It is the journalist’s duty to incorporate those points in his or her writings. The information that we receive from listening to the news on the radio, reading the newspaper, or watching local news are all considered a form of journalism. Lately, the demand for newspapers and the amount of people whom get their information from newspapers has
crucial in the shaping of news selection. The way in which newsrooms are structured, and the manner with which they operate is at the very core of what news is presented to consumers. The newsroom is one of the most essential organs in the world of journalism; enabling the selection of news most relevant to the demands of consumers. However, the newsroom is not immune to change and adaptation, and it's structures and practice are evolving as technology and other factors combine to alter the preferences
