Ethics



In the light of such ideas as absolute truth in journalism and Aristotle’s “Golden Mean”, what are the ‘positives’ associated with each? What are the ‘negatives’?  Is the obligation of the journalist to present brutal truth for truth’s sake or achieve humanity for the greater good?  What are the down sides for each of the previously stated options?  Be thorough in your reponses and anticipate the counter arguments for your claims.

Answer these four questions thoroughly, in complete sentences with precise language and support for claims.  Your responses should be typed into a word file and sent to my e mail as an attachment. 

This assignment factors into your quarterly grade as a classwork grade but this work will also assist you in your success on a future essay.
