Q: A candidate for public office, a reporter discovers, was put on trial for alleged aggravated robbery almost 15 years ago. He was acquitted. Is this of relevance to the media during the current election? What obligation dos the media have to report such things?
A: I don't think that it has relevance during the current election because it happen 15 years ago and he was found acquitted. It would change if he was found guilty. I think that the media has an obligation to report such things because a lot of voters like to know the background of the people who are running.
Q:Find five examples in local papers of when stories were written because the people affected needed to know what was going on.
A: 1:Masseur accused of videotaping clients
2:When Ike called, Austinites answered Local people donate time, money and items to evacuees.
3:Eagle Lake man admits role in 2006 Hays County shooting death
4:AISD proposes two new schools in place of Eastside High School
5:Hurricane alters debate on coastal construction Some landowners, state officials clash over proposals to protect beaches and limit building.
