Read Case Study 10 “Strangers Bearing Gifts” in Chapter 3 of the Jacquette textbook, and answer the following: What is the best course of action for the network? Should the diabetes treatment video be shown on the nightly report together with the announcement about pharmaceutical brochures being available in physician offices? Why or why not? Would airing the video violate any principles of journalistic ethics? Would it be okay to air the video without an announcement about the company’s brochures? What alternative plan (if any) could be made to share information about the diabetes treatment on the nightly report? Or should the pharmaceutical company be told to buy advertising on the network to promote its treatment plan?
