Description

Sometimes, taking a stand against a journalist is justified. But sometimes it’s not, and amounts to an ethical misstep or even breaking the law.


In this episode, we look at four examples ripped from recent headlines:



  • Donald Trump’s war with Megyn Kelly of Fox News

  • How a confrontation with a reporter led to charges against Trump’s campaign manager

  • A University of Missouri communications professor whose stand against the media got her fired

  • A top election official in Tennessee whose verbal outburst at a reporter got him fired


While these situations could be considered drastic, each provides takeaways that all of us can learn from in our dealings with journalists.
