Ethical Decision Making

For this assignment we were asked to create an account with news university, and check out the website. A section of the websit that i focused on was the ethical decision making section. In this section they talk about accuracy and fairness, conflicts of interest, deception, diversity, online ethics, photojournalism, plagerism, and privacy. I learned alot of all of the following, but the one that really got me thinking was palgerism. when the question of if you hear something on the radio or read a quote from a newspaper, or from a television interview or transcript you find online do you need to refference it? When you start to look at it from that standpoint then plagerism is used quite frequently on an every day basis. I frequently will quote things that i hear on TV, so is that plagerism? To me i feel that it isnt but some may feel that way.
