When I was in Fl my news writing prof worked as an editor for the Pensacola News Journal. When we started talking about ethics he told us how some photojournalists carry shoes with them so if they go to an accident site and children were involvev they throw shoes by the scene and take a photo because this is more emotional for people. It is unethical to do that-- but when I came back to CO i was watching the news and there was a car accident and it involved children and I saw shoes. All i could think of was were those placed there on purpose?
As a pr emphasis I've learned a lot about how unethcial people are and often it sounds like if you do try to be honest you get fired. A lot of people try to be spin doctors or find ways to make more money etc and if they are higher up in the chain then they usually get to fire those of us honest people.
