Paper Summary:
This paper examines the loopholes that exist in current media laws regarding the publication of stolen information. The paper concludes that the loophole created by the current loosely written laws and ethical codes serves only as a safety net for unscrupulous journalists.From the Paper:
"The ruling in Chiquita Brands International, Inc. v. Michael Gallagher clearly implies that, as long as a journalist does not personally steal information, the journalist is legally permitted to publish it. However, this implication creates a massive gray area of media law and ethics that serves as no more than a gargantuan loophole through which journalists are free to practice unethical, illegal, and unprofessional newsgathering techniques."More papers on Information Theft :
