I totally agree that a newspaper should never go to such great lengths as to lie and deceive people to gain information, regardless of how important the matter may be. If it’s not honest information acquired by noble means, it’s lying and is downright wrong, even if the outcome is beneficial. Disguising certain things is sometimes acceptable to an extent if it’s something like pretending to be an ordinary customer at a restaurant. But there are strict boundaries when it comes to matters such as these and they always need to be respected and followed.

I think when your a news reporter you don’t have any excuses to lie. When your a news reporter you should get all of your information straight, and to make sure of it yourself that you got the most honest story there is. All of us readers get tired of hearing lies

its either acceptable or unacceptable, there cannot be exceptions for some stories if lying is the means to any end, and not exceptions to other stories

think about it!!!!

I think lying as a news reporter can some times be an exception such as things like this that needs to be out in the public, because people would never admit to being racist, but some customers see it first hand and cannot do anything about it. So in some cases i think lying is acceptable to get the real truth out to the public.
