Question

a journalist receives money from a political party to exclude its candidates tax fraud in a news report. which principle of ethical journalism does this journalist violate? (1 point)
minimize harm.
seek truth and report on it.
be accountable.
act independently.

Explanation:

Ethical journalism principles include seeking truth and reporting it. Here, the journalist is paid to exclude a candidate's tax fraud (a truth) from a news report. Minimizing harm would involve reducing negative impacts on people, which isn't the main issue here. Being accountable is about taking responsibility for one's work, but the core violation is not reporting the truth. Acting independently is about not being unduly influenced, but the key principle broken is the failure to report the truth.

Answer:

Seek truth and report on it.
