HOW ARE THE PR OFESSIONALS THINKING THR OUGH THESE QUESTIONS?

Canadian Association of Journalists on privacy

The public has a right to know about its institutions and the people whoare elected or hired to serve its interests. Their role is public and inmatters concerning these roles they are accountable to the public.

�Individuals have a right to privacy except when that right is superceded by thepublic good.�We will not harass or manipulate people who are thrust into the spotlightbecause they are victims of crime or are associated with a tragedy.�R elatives of people in the news sometimes become newsworthy, but we will

guard against voyeuristic stories.
