Abstract:

Ethical dilemmas often occur in newspaper journalism. According to Philip Meyer, professor of ethics, journalists' ethical codes are often oriented toward public relations rather than effective ethical scrutiny. Ruth Walden, a media law expert, says there is a fine line between courts and journalists regarding the freedom of speech and invasion of privacy.
