internet 1 assgnment 2.


The publication of the picture was right to be printed on the newspaper .  The publication of the picture was for informatory purposes and it was in the public interest .They say a good picture tells one thousand words there was no way the journalist was going to illustrate what happened if there was no picture. Although it may disagree with the ethical code which states that"due care shall be exercised by the press with regard to the presentation of brutality"  but sometimes you have to cross the line to give a good story .The publications should be allowed to print pictures like this as they tell the story in a good way . They also did a good job by publishing the photograph as the ethical code state that photographs may be manipulated but they should not mislead and the photograph did just that.The picture has also made the Department of Health to look into this mortuary situation .
