Scenario 1
A celebrity has famously gone into rehab. You need to get information about their time in the facility, because it will boost the readership / ratings and will demonstrate the point you are trying to make, perfectly.
When you arrive there, they say they will let you in to look at their facility as long as you don’t go to the celebs’ private room.
What would you do?
Walking around and try to walk pass in the front of the room and ask a question with the staff who work three.
What would you do in the same circumstances but your story is about non celebrities going into rehab?
Maybe spy on them, follow them where they go and what are they doing.
Scenario 2
You are writing a story on a number of recent youth London stabbings. Heading up the campaign, on behalf of a charity, is a bereaved mother who lost her son to a stabbing. You have been instructed to ask her about the campaign and not emotional questions about her sons death.
Would you ask her?
Ask what is the next campaign, how you going to do it and do you have any plan for the next campaign.
What would you say?
I regret to what happened to your family.
Scenario 3
You’re writing an interview based story on the life of a criminal? The criminal is renowned for drug crimes, committing fraud and violent crimes. After the interview, you read through the answers and see that the script glorifies this lifestyle and shows how the criminal becomes very rich and very powerful.
Would you still write the story?
I would say no because you don’t know what he is going to do to you and your family.
Would you write a story, that glorified the life of a serial killer?
Yes serial killer is very safe to write because at the end of the day they might sent the death penalty like TED BUNDY, or spend time in the prison forever
What about a rapist?
Yes my answer wold be the same with sarial killer
