New Ethics in Journalism

Aaargh! Pirates! (and the press);
Leaking artist's music has always been issue.And now that we live in the digital era its been hard to keep albums and songs private up to the date of there release. With all the technology and alternative websites it has been hard for the music industry to keep its sales up. And with pop culture companies like Billboard, and Rollingstone whom further publicize situations like this and worsen them by linking there viewers to the PDF of the song(s),making it even harder for the industry and the artists to stay sane when creating/producing music.
Question: Yet from an thical standpoint, if Billboard and Rolling Stone are essentially pointing readers in the right direction, to the leaked music, are they not aiding in helping the internet community find the material and consume it?
Personally i do not agree with the actions of Billboard and Rolling Stone linking the leaked music of and artists music and do not think it is ethically correct.Not only does it lower the music industry business but, violates the artist's privacy when making something as sacred as music that holds personal meaning.And no it is not aiding the internet community by finding it, instead it is promoting illegal actions of leaking private documents of others and consuming it.


Naming Victims of Sex Crimes;
Elizabeth Smart, Shasta and Dylan Groene, and Ben Ownby were all victims of sexual assault as children.All of the children's names were heavily publicized but not the kidnappers in all of these sexual assault cases which is debatable if that is god or not. But thankfully all of the kids involved were returned back to there families ,but that doesn't take away the trauma these people live with.
Question: Should the children who are though to be victims of sexual assault ever be named in the news?What should be done about the continued use of names of kid nap victims who are later found to be sexual assault victims?Should the use of their names be discontinued at that point?The names of the victims that went through being kidnapped should not be released to any form of 'the public' with out the consent of the victim and their guardians. And if it is later said the victim was also involved in sexual assault the same cautions of having consent from the victim them selves and family should be further enforced.

Offensive Images;
12 cartoon images of the prophet Mohammed were created/published in 2005,and later recalled in 2006 when Muslim leaders brought attention to them. Attention that turned into burning of embassies and death of people.Since then it has been hard to ignore the 12 cartoon drawings. And it is up to the media platforms if they want to publish them.
Question:Do we publish the cartoon or not?Religion is a tricky opinionated subject that varies off many thinks like your surrounding, childhood,and self thought. So when thinking about publishing content about religion i believe it is your best interest not too, to not only protect yourself but also saving your viewers/readers of possible offense.
