Ethics

The rules of journalism today have changed just as society has. Technology has allowed for it to have taken this course. More people can and do apply their input into circumstances that take place on a daily basis. The conflict mentioned is that Juan Williams made a statement which did not suit well with the company he worked for; the comment made went against their rules is their argument. As the commentator I would have stood my ground and would attempt to getting a clear understanding of what exactly led to my removal. Due to the fact that he has not received a proper explanation and he did work for the company for 10 years. As NPR I would've probably have had him issue an apology even though I don't think his statement was as radical as the actions taken by NPR. Many journalists today continue to apply their perspective somehow and if it causes a dilemmas as this story has, they are asked to apologize. And the medium through which the journalists is providing their story make sure to separate themselves from the personal view of the journalists.
