About "Unethical Use of Media Identity" topic:

A fake media for any purpose - be it noble or evil - is highly harmful to a true media professional. Under this topic we can discuss issues and cases where other people or professionals use false media identity that later becomes a problem for the true media professionals. For example, if Tehelka team members were dragged into controversy on charges of ethics and breaching national security norms for doing an investigation into large scale corruption in camouflage of international suppliers, how ethical is it for the police to do something in camouflage of journalists, as it happened in West Bengal? This particular case would put the Journalist under Moist scanner an they may not be able to report from Maoist dominated remote places. Is it not unethical use of Media identity that also would restrict the real professionals of the industry from doing their job?
