This taster session will introduce students to Journalism as a career, explain how news reporters gather news and highlight the ethical dilemmas journalists face when covering stories, using examples from the news that week.

The second part of the session will consist of a group debate around the subjects of ethics, privacy and celebrity. Participants will be given a number of scenarios and asked ‘What would you do?’ After that, Lindsay will talk through some real-world examples of ethical dilemmas she faced in the newsroom, and ask the students what they might have done in her position.
