Media Follow-up Question

"The hardest choices are not between good and bad. They are between differing outcomes which appear to have equal merit."

Newspapers should not invade ones privacy rights. It should not focus on the personal details but the problem itself. For example if someone famous dies of aids, it is the issue of that person’s death that is discussed in the newspaper, not the issue of him dying of aids. If one’s personal details are a factor in changing or the source of the problem then it is a responsibility to share the details to solve the problem. Though only the details needed to solve the problem. Names should only be provided if one has commited a crime, as they are part of the problem.
