Runaway Bride's Review from Journalist Student
|
I watched the movie, Runaway Bride. The movie is a picture starring Richard Gere (Ike Graham). He is a newspaper columnist. He is kind of a last minute man. One day when he is sweating out a column idea an hour before deadline, he hears about a woman who has turned tail in seven fizzled weddings. He wrote about it. Journalist must write column through exact witness. However he wrote it without enough investigation, so lazy Ike Graham took a few wrong facts and span out a nasty rant in his column. In this situation, we confront journalist ethical matters.
I think Ike Graham has some ethical problems as journalist. First, is that journalist has to report article exactly. All articles have to be based on exact facts and collected data from thorough enough investigation. However, Ike Graham didn't do that. He said that, "I'm kind of a last minute man. Ideas don't flow until an hour or two before deadline." He wrote the column about the runaway bride through story he heard in downtown bar by chance. He wrote that, "She has already disemboweled six in a row by leaving them at the altar." However, actually Maggie Carpenter ran away three times at the altar. According to the code of ethics, journalist must test the accuracy of information from all sources and exercise care to avoid inadvertent error.
Secondly, all articles have to be written without gender bias. However, Ike Graham has a biased view about woman. Several times, he has been accused of using this column to direct bitter diatribes at the opposite sex. He suggested in his article that Maggie was a "man-eater." He wrote that "To be fair, the man-eater isn't exactly new. In Ancient Greece, this fearsome female was known as Erinys, the devouring death goddess. In India, she is Kali, who like to devour her boyfriend Shiva's entrails while her yoni devour his." Ike Graham is statement were also slanderous. According to the code of ethics, journalists must avoid stereotyping by race, gender, age, religion, ethnicity, geography, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance or social status.
Lastly, journalists should not interfere in others private concerns. However, Ike Graham wrote, "And her ritual feast continues as she prepares to make out of the fiancA . So all bets are on and we hope that this boomerang bride isn't honeymooning with Las Vegas odd makers because many predict that this girl is out of there before the race." According to the code of ethics, journalists must recognize that private people have a greater right to control information about themselves than do public officials and others who seek power, influence or attention.
Finally, in my opinion, the duty of the journalist is to further those end by seeking truth, and by providing a fair and comprehensive account of events and issues. Conscientious journalists from all media and specialties strive to serve the public with thoroughness and honesty. However, Ike Graham didn't do that. He should have written a factual article using the code of ethics as a guide.
