- What kinds of things does Sally Field do that are considered unethical for a journalist?
o She does two major things that can be considered unethical. One, she prints a story that contained secret facts that were leaked to her through a source. Her writing was unattributed and her editor let it slide by without a problem because he knew it would draw attention to the paper. Two, she then slept with the source and his dirty revenge becomes an affair which is frowned upon in the journalism world. For a journalist to become occupied with one of the subjects in their story is unjust and might create a biased story.
