Ethical Dilemmas - Irfan.

I think that Conflict of interest is the most important of the seven ethical dilemmas presented to us. This is because, for example, a reporter would like to side with one side of the story and not to look from other points of views, because he or she favours it. This would make the report one sided and would cause the readers to think of the story very narrowly. In order to make a report without this problem, reporters should not let their feelings interfere with their work and they should always look for more than one point of view.

Ethical Dilemma - JunKai

I think biasness is the most important dilemma of the few. First of, biasness can prevent certain parts of the story to be published, due to the reporter or journalist being bias. Bias can also involve the journalists writing about things and discriminate them based on their race, age, status, that can cause many arguments, conflicts and  dispute between one and another. All of these forms of biasness should not be presented, and rather the journalists should make the article as fair and impartial as possible.

Ethical Dilemma, wunjuan

I think commitment to accuracy is the most important ethical dilemma journalists face. If the journalist is not fair and honest on what information that he/she reported, the viewers may believe what the journalist reported, which may actually give them the wrong information. This will give viewers wrong views and ideas of that certain topic. So journalists needs to be committed to source information which are reliable and trust-worthy. 

Ethical Dilemma - Shaun Neo

I think bias is the most important ethical dilemma that journalists face. This is due to the reason that whenever we see or observe something that happens, we automatically form an opinion of the subject matter. Further more, if the journalist provides one-sided information to the public, they will then lack the freedom to think or form what they think of the subject matter. As a journalist, it is their duty to supply information and only information, and not an article that is pro the author's feelings or opinion.

Ethical Dilemma (Douglas)

I think commitment to accuracy is the most important ethical dilemma journalists face as some articles that are published are either vague or not accurate. Due to wanting to grab the top headline first, journalists will do a hurried job of the news report, resulting in inaccurate information. As a result, the readers may get a wrong idea of a certain news. This would not be good for the journalist or the readers.

Ethical Dilemmas - Ain

I think that anonymous sources is the most important ethical dilemmas journalists face as most anonymous sources are not verified sources, which is something critical. Without verified sources or sources that are true, journalists cannot showcase the current news and news is important to people especially in case of emergency. Also, if the witnesses would want to remain anonymous when they are questioned or asked for information, most people would question the reliability.

Dylan Tay - Seven Ethical Dilemmas Journalists Face | What I think is the most important

In the 7 options give, I think that being bais is the most important.

I feel it is the most important as when a journalist is non-bais, he will report both sides of the story that he is reporting and not choose the side that he think is right to publish. When he publishes both sides of the story, the readers or viewers will be able to choose what they feel is right or wrong. This gives more freedom in terms of thinking.

This allows the viewers to voice out what they feel if the need arises. Also, when an important event has aroused, if the reporter is being bais, then there will be no fairness in terms of judgement by the readers or viewers. This will make things very unfair if let's say the event is the General Election. If the candidate had said this

  "I feel that Singapore is a wonderful place to stay, but Singapore lacks some qualities and has some talented ones"

If the reporter only quotes the 'Singapore lacks some qualities' part, it will be bais towards the candidate and he may not attract all his viewers and the people of the country that trusts him.
