When public should remain private:
This case study is commenting on how journalists when reporting on crime stories, should or should not include in depth details about the victim or the accused. They comment on the fact that as a politician or some other type of public official one cannot expect to be able to hide anything from the people that they represent, but as an ordinary citizen there is no reason why the public needs to know such things as who their high school sweetheart was or what kind of car they drive if they have been involved in some sort of domestic crime. Personally, i feel that this sort of information is not important in cases involving ordinary citizens unless it pertains to the actual crime itself. Yeah, we do get more information on public officials reguarding their personal lives, but is that informations really needed? It may be needed in order to form an opinion about them and better help us decide who we’re going to vote for, but there is no reason why the same details should be published in a report about a crime if they have no direct connection with what happened.
