An important ethical issue
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book, although its plot is a bit predictable, raises an important ethical issue: is the role of the media to merely report the news passively, or do reporters ever have an obligation to become active participants in the electoral process. In light of the current tabloidization of the news coverage in this country, there is much meat for discussion in the actions of the reporters portrayed in this book.
