A good journalist always exposes the full story, this should the practice of all journalist. If you have a person who has gotten caught doing something criminal or just stupid. The readers deserve insight on the story and not just bits and pieces. What sounds more exciting to read about; A local woman was caught on tape at a child care facility abusing a child, or Local childcare care giver (Some Random Woman's name) was caught on tape violently abusing a child? A good journalist would have the video leaked showing the beating being given with a little censorship on the children's faces and her face clear as day. This effect would cause more outrage then a little article about it with no evidence for the reader to see. Report accurately, expose all who's involved, and show the raw truth to the public. Which header would attract you to read this story?I agree. Also people argue that it's somewhat an invasion of privacy. I disagree. I think that you shouldn't be sending super private emails at work, at least especially not on a business account. It makes sense. Every government official's business account should at the least be open for other government officials to see, and as well the general public, minus the things that are important government documents that should be kept secure. I don't see why it would be an invasion of privacy, you use a business email for business-related things. If you look at it simplistically you might jerk at the idea of any of your emails regardless of the origin being available to the public. I mean it seems weird in a sense. Logically speaking however, especially when handling important documents and sending them back and forth such as people in government positions do, it makes sense that at least the people in the work place be able to view the content of what you're sending, unless it's directed to someone specific. That's how you keep the system safe. Even if I were a business executive I wouldn't want someone using an email I gave them for business discussion to have back and forth conversations with their spouse, or even to discuss business deals with someone in a platform which I can't view. The government might keep a lot of information from the public. However to actually get a job IN the government, doesn't come from keeping things secret.
Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?
Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.
