Black eye: The ethics of cbs news and the national guard documents
Journal of Mass Media Ethics 23 (2):90 – 109 (2008)
Abstract
This case study applies ethics theories and codes to the mainstream news media's response to the CBS News-National Guard forged documents fiasco of 2004. It finds that 177 newspaper editorials applied truth telling, accountability, independence, and stewardship principles in their criticism of CBS, but only in a limited way. While the editorials dealt well with the specific issues of the case, they missed an opportunity to discuss the broader ethical principles involved.Other Versions
