The case I have read is titled “When Journalists Play God”. It about journalist making a decision on which person who they are going to report. In this case a journalist has an interview with a family whose daughter has a rare form of cancer. This provided good attention to the human interest for the story.

Then later on they gotten a call of another family who are in the same situation as the first family. This is where the step three of the process of ethical decision-making is called to action. While these stories are justified just make the media look like a charity where both editors and reporters are not comfortable with.

This gave the journalist a similar power of god on what they will report. In step five, it states that you the journalist need to figure out what kind of conflict you’re facing and that is make a choice on who/what to report. To figure out this dilemma they all listen to all the caller’s plights.

By doing that they compare and contrasted on whose illness is more severe while figuring out the differences of each caller.
