If a reporter is committed to following the standard code of ethics for journalism, the correct behaviors she would exhibit are:

  • She triple-checks the accuracy of each of her sources.
  • She reports plagiarism by a fellow reporter.

The other two behaviors would not align with journalistic ethics. Favoring advertisers over impartial reporting and ignoring the pain and grief of individuals affected by stories are both unethical practices in journalism.
