Where should the press draw the line when it comes to gathering information?

When I said 'isn’t democracy what we’re spreading’, I knew that ‘actions spoke louder than words’. Moreover, IMHO one CANNOT spread democracy with illegal settlements. Democracy will not prevail without the letter of the law!

The line should come to rest just before one goes into not respecting innocent person's rights to privacy. If you move into the territory of disrespecting the missing or dead and then take it upon yourself to edit the information that you gathered, without consent and for your convenience, you have stepped waaaay over the line.

When it can destroy a persons life !

Tampering with evidence by deleting phone calls to a missing girl is a criminal offense. This was no brainer WRONG! One of those messages that some idiot at the News of the World deleted might have been a clue about her murderer.

There is an element of common sense that has disappeared from what we have been accepting from what we loosely refer to as journalism lately. If the public stops accepting tripe and buying it, they will stop producing it. Until then, we will have this detrimental bullshit keeping actual facts from seeing the light of day and endless stories about useless celebritards and things that do not matter.

Only direct inquiry (interview), public information or private info as ordered by a judge.

Pentagon papers,Wikileaks,Bradly Manning,these are not criminal acts.The criminal acts were perpetrated by our government.The government may try to label truth tellers as criminals,but an examination of the aforementioned shows the exposes hurt no one,only exposed the government lies,and policies that actually make this country weaker.Lies,immoral acts weaken our government.It is the brave journalists that expose the truth, that need support,not a lying immoral government.

try remembering this"first do no harm", get the story through asking questions, not jumping out of the bushes.

When reading about part time job vacancies in York, easy work and good hours can be beneficial. Think about if the work is something you can physically do. Will you be able to stand for hours at a register? Does the job require constant reorganizing of merchandise? Is the work schedule steady, or do the hours constantly change? Do you have to stay up overnight? There are easier part time jobs in York. Visit :- http://www.activyork.com/jobs/

From the begining

The law, which people named or aligned with the name Murdoch apparently don't think applies to them - has made it very clear what is private information and what is not. If it is designated to be private, it is private. If not, then it's public. While I don't think that the judgment of what's public and private is always wise, reporters and journalists, hackers, government officials, private corporations etc.. should stick to these legal principles and work with lawmakers (even if they have to find new ones...) to change that standard should it be necessary.

good issue to engage.

the BURDEN is on the "privacy" defender ; " what would ' Anonymous ' do " ?

FIGHT ! this is a FIGHT. The dim and incompetent WILL loose to "Big money/Big gov ) Bet on it. FIGHT ! ( if you can )

try just doing the job of reporting and not opining subjective sh*t that rattles inside your head

When I said 'isn't democracy what we're spreading'.........I did not envision this!

This is what corporate governance has done to the earth! They want to control the worlds water and food supply. Nestle isn't just for candy anymore, now their pushing radiation and calling it democracy!

See what Fox news is doing and do the opposite!!! You should be OK!!!!

Where should the line be drawn?...No one can say for sure but I guess being reasonable, I would say stop when you may adversely affect the private life of a public person. No one, no matter what race or political persuasion ,should have to answer to me or anyone else as to what they do behind closed doors. I sure don't want everyone to know some of the things I've done when no one was looking.

"The Press" isn't a monolithic institution with a governing body of regulations...individual journalists are responsible for their individual ethics. Individual press moguls are responsible for the ethics displayed by their editors.

I'm more concerned with the public's lack of discrimination between sensationalism and serious reporting. If it were up to me, I'd outlaw all tabloids and infotainment outlets.
