Ethics??

This story was very compelling, it made me realize that being a journalist can sometimes become very personal. She was only trying to be a voice for this girl and it became a story about herself. She had to decide weather or not this was going to be a good way to address this issue. Obviously she decided to do it because it was the only way that the story was going to be told. Another ethical issue was that of the families. What would the family think of the story being turned around? I would have probably done the same thing. The story obviously needed to be told, but no one seemed to care about what had happened.
In my project it is difficult to say what ethical issues might arise. Might be the fact that the story is going to be told from an outside point of view, and the person I am profiling might not like it.
