Exercise 3

Polite and Elegance

Off course there are limitation in the newswebsite. For the Danish newspaper cartoons, definetely, I am not gonna link to that. Because it is humiliated the Muslim. And of course the video of beheading, because it is showing a brutality. The limit is always about politeness and ethics.

No one in this world that likes to be hurt, insulted, or humiliated. There for we di have to be very carefully publish the stories. Racism is not welcome too in the news website.

Sometime, dealing with such content is confusing. But we can choose the opposite content that still connecting to the stories. For beheading, we can put the photos of the sadness the family of the beheaded, progress report of the process, or other activity that connected.

It is the same with Danish newspaper cartoon. I dont know why the editor publish the cartoon. I think it is violates journalism ethics. When publish the story about the Danish newspaper cartoon, I will put the picture of the people protest or picture of the newspaper it self (the front page).

It is about how we choose to serve the content without loosing the newsworthy. We can publish the interesting stories without any harm to the ethics. Publish the news politely and elegance. It will make people respect to the news website too.
