I think checkbook journalism is wrong. Checkbook Journalism is a news organization pays for the footage and interviews, considered unethical. NBC did checkbook journalism to get the story on the two sky diving planes hit each other. NBC payed the skydivers to get exclusive interviews with them.
This is not the only time NBC used checkbook journalism. NBC actually did it Two times in one week. They did it for the Skydiving story and the Hannah Anderson story two.

Check book journalism response
I think checkbook Journalism is wrong. Check book Journalism is when you pay someone for their story and they don't want share it all. I think it is not the best idea because you shouldn't force someone to tell a story when they don't want to tell. Also it just a bad idea because they can easily lie about the story also and then they get all the money and while you are paying for a story that is not true and why post it if it isn't true? For an example the plane crashing in the skydivers and how everyone made it alive. It is a great thing to have everyone safe after a horrific accident, but is it just what they want to hear? They just also wanted the videos from the incident and that no other news station could use those because they bought it. In my opinion, it so not worth the money at all.

plane crash
NBC's coverage on the two skydiving planes head on collision was excellent. But it was extremely lucky that no one was injured, and even luckier that they were wear go pros and we can see exactly how this happened. I believe this is wrong in many ways and can ruin the news. This can, in many ways make the news bias, because after the people who have the news sell the information they cannot go to any other broadcasting station. I also think that NBC might get a lot of negative vibes from this plane crash, especially because they used checkbook journalism.
NBC has bought 2 stories in 4 days. They paid $100,000 for their interviews and information. The second thing they bought was a story about Hannah Anderson because it's an ongoing investigation about a kidnapping and murders. Also, it prohibits other news casters' freedoms by not allowing the information, either about the skydiver incident or the Hannah Anderson case, to be released to their competition. It seems to me that they are trying to create the great war between news mediums all over again. First it was newspapers, now it looks like digital media.

Respond question NBC
I think that it was kind of wrong for NBC to purchase that story because it could cloud the judgment or warp the story that the people gave to them. And the people could go into more detail and make the story different then what actually happened. Plus, because the people knew this would be such a big story since a news company bought it the people could have hyped it up and just wanted more fame for themselves.
I think that even though it was wrong for them to purchase a story, it is their money and if they really wanted to buy it why should we care? if it doesn't affect me then I don't really care. I say let NBC purchase whatever they want and we can choose if we think the story is reliable or not.

NBC Plane Crash
That was a very interesting topic. NBC reverting to checkbook journalism is a tragic thing to hear. Why would a big news company like NBC buy the rights to a video? To be honest its kinda stupid. They already had the interviews of the skydivers. It is completely unethical, and this isn't NBC's first time doing checkbook journalism.

Checkbook Journalism
NBC's coverage on the two skydiving planes head on collision was excellent. However. NBC paid the survived divers for exclusive rights to the videos is not acceptable. Use of Checkbook Journalism is unethical and considered Taboo.
Sadly, this wasn't NBC's only attempt at this poor use of journalism. they also paid the family of the 16 year old who survived a kidnapping and attempted murder.
Sadly, this wasn't NBC's only attempt at this poor use of journalism. they also paid the family of the 16 year old who survived a kidnapping and attempted murder.
Why was NBC's checkbook journalism wrong.
Not only was it irrational, it was also unfair and criminal-like: not good for their reputation at all. Not a wise move on their part at all, especially if they are focused on keeping their rep in tact. If I were NBC, rather than risk my ego for a small story about airplane survivors, I would focus on something else to grab the audiences attention that doesn't involve the un-honest way of getting stories. Going all that way to get a story will only end up wrecking you and you will have to spend a large amount of time repairing that trust with the audience. It also makes the survivors look greedy to the average viewer since they "sold" their story, so it affects more than just NBC news.
Plane crash response
The plane crash was really interesting. It is extremely lucky that no one was injured, and even luckier that they were wearing Go Pros and we can see exactly how this happened. In my opinion, I think it was wrong of NBC to pay them money for an interview as well as licencing the video for $100,000.
I also think that NBC might get a lot of negative vibes from this plane crash, especially because they used checkbook journalism. However, I can see what they were getting at with this whole thing. If NBC is the only company airing this extremely interesting story, they would get a lit more popular. But at the same time, they might be frowned upon for the purchasing of it.

Checkpoint journalism
NBC payed the nine divers and
two pilots more than $100,000 for a video of the plane crash. They said it was exclusive footage. This is considered unethical and called Checkpoint Journalism. Which means that they bought information from the original and then said it was there exclusive footage. Which is not ethical at all.
The nine survivers and two pilots agreed to take the money and let NBC take there footage. I feel like that is wrong because they put that it was by them, which it wasn't. Also when they payed Hannah to tell them what had gone on in her kiddnapping, it feels like they don't care what happened to her, they just want a good story for there tv station. Its like all they care about.

NBC scandal
NBC's buying of stories is not good because after money is involved, the stories get biased to the one who provides it. In the sky-jumping case, the sky-jumpers sold the video and interviews to NBC, but, if it would have been just the video, it would have been fine.
And, in the case of buying interviews from the kidnapee and her family, it could have changed their story a little. So, pocket journalism is bad and can alter the story.

2 Paragraph Responce
In my opinion NBC should not have done that stuff. If people want to come up front and give you the tings that go along with the story, that should be their choice, not a news channel buying it from them. If they want you to have that stuff they might give it to you, you should not buy it from them. Even though no one died in the crash, that would be a very scary thing to go through, some of those people could have died in that accident.
And with the Hannah Anderson story, that is another mess up on NBC's part in my opinion. That girl could have been killed by that man and it seems like all they care about is getting the whole story from her when they BUY it. Referencing back to the skydiving accident, if she wants to share that with a news station, she will, don't buy a story from people who go through bad things. In that case, don't buy any stories. It is unethical in my opinion.

NBC Scandal.
I think what did was selfish and unprofessional. If they think doing that will gain them more viewers or something, well they are not getting my vote. Not only that they violated the check book journalism rules, they also made them selves look so desperate that they had to pay people to talk for them. If their is any punishment concerning what they did. I think they should be punished than.
This is not the first time they are doing this. So I think they should be stopped or something. Now only them have information about the situation and other people don't get the privilege. They said that they also payed this girl called Hannah Anderson who was kidnapped to only talk to them and them only. I think that's rude because she lost her mom in the process and now they want her to tell every detail. In this situation they are just thinking about their business but not how it is going to affect the poor girl.

2 paragraph response
Two planes crashed while flying sky divers around to where they would be dropped off. The skydivers where wearing Go Pros to record the crash and their jump. Later NBC found out about it and payed the sky divers 100,000 to give them the footage, interviews , and for them to not be able to share footage or give interviews to anyone else.
I think it was very wrong of both NBC and the sky divers to have money involved in the news report. Now the report might be biased because money was involved. also not as many people will hear about it because no other stations will have interviews.

Plane Collision -2 Paragraph Response
NBC just bought footage two times, lately. This is called Checkbook Journalism and it can be problematic in some ways. I believe this is wrong in many ways and can ruin the news. This can, in many ways make the news bias, because after the people who have the news sell the information they cannot go to any other broadcasting station. This also allows certain news to get the juicer stories only because they have the money. They used this method for a plane collision recently, and they used it to buy go-pro video from the skydivers in the plane.
The possible reason for this is that the new producer of NBC is British. Why is this important? The reason is because for British News people this is the way their area operates. you may have one story get told over here -->. and be told one way and then have another story being told over <--- here, and be told in a way that may not be true. This leads to problems and it is wrong in the face of other news people.

NBC Response to video -Laura Aldrich
NBC had bought footage about the plane crash and the 11 people, they got this by some one who was just auctioning it off. This is called Checkbook Journalism. This is unethical because you don't know if they where paying them 100,000 to lie. Or to sway them into saying other things.
It was also entirely wrong for NBC to only make it exclusive, meaning the 11 divers could not talk to other TV networks, or newspapers. That to me was upsetting, because they must be doing something that is either wrong, or being ignorant. One of the other reasons I think they wouldn't let them talk to other press is because of the month of November is Nielsen's Rating, and they are just trying to get high in the ratings, so this source is very unethical.

Video
I thought that the video was kind of boring but also I got some information out of it. I wish the video had some more interesting. Also, I wish there was actual video so I wasn't so bored.
I was really surprised by how the news media could buy a information about a story. I think that the media shouldn't get to buy story's. Also everyone can say the story and not to buy the story.

plane crash paragraphs
I don't agree that what they did was right. The eleven people that lived from the plane crash were interviewed, because they were payed. NBC payed $100,000 for the video that was filmed from one of the skydiver's helmet. I don't agree with them doing this because they shouldn't have to pay them to get the facts. It's also their fault because they sold the film.
I also don't agree with this because they only tell the story from one side and not the other. If this happens, they become bias and don't give the people all the facts, or the whole truth. NBC also put their logo right on the video to make it look like theirs.

Unethical acts in NBC
I really believe that it is very unethical of NBC news to use checkbook journalism in order to make sure that no other news networks could get the story. I find it as abusing the freedom of press rights in the fact that it is prohibiting the rights of the interviewed.
Also, it prohibits other news casters' freedoms by not allowing the information, either about the skydiver incident or the Hannah Anderson case, to be released to their competition. It seems to me that they are trying to create the great war between news mediums all over again. First it was newspapers, now it looks like digital media.

Checkbook Journalism
NBC payed 100,00 dollars for the videos of the two skydiving planes crashing. This is called checkbook journalism, which is very unethical. They also payed for the footage of a kidnapping of a girl named Hannah Anderson. This is also checkbook journalism.
I agree that paying for the videos / footages of a tragedy is very wrong and unethical. It doesn't just hurt the individuals who were in the accident, but it also hurts the families of those individuals. I believe that checkbook journalism should be illegal.
Checkbook Journalism
NBC has just purchased a recent story about 11 skydivers. Their plane crashed and they all survived. NBC bought this story from them. This is called checkbook journalism and it is unethical.When NBC pays for stories they only get one side of the story and it insures that they won't interview with any other news station.
NBC has bought 2 stories in 4 days. They paid $100,000 for their interviews and information. The second thing they bought was a story about Hannah Anderson because it's an ongoing investigation about a kidnapping and murders.

Check book journalism
I honestly don't really care if they buy the story. Because if thats the only way they can get the story then go ahead, its a smart idea, it works for both the news station and the people included in the story. I really don't understand why the man in the radio show was so apaulled by the fact of buying a story to show to the american public.
On the other hand i can see how it would influence the story. Someone who is getting payed to be interviewed is usually going to be portraying whatever it is in a more positive manner. In conlusion, I am totally fine with buy stories. - Landon Kreber

Thoughts on Video
I never knew that the media payed people to own stories. They also seem to trick people into saying their story and then they put two stories up against each other. The public never gets a straight answer anymore. The media simply leaves us at their mercy and we never know what is true or false.
Also, the media will own stories so that only one station can report on it. The public has the right to get view points from all stations. The media is completely corrupted now and the common man would make a more trusting media. Internet news and newspapers are way more trustworthy, which is truly frightening.
Buying news stories
I really don't think it is that big a deal. I can see how people may not trust the story, or be able to hear it from any other side then, but i still can't see the big deal. The story is still getting out there and people will be learning about it.
The point of news is to inform people of what is going on in the world. If news companies buy the story, it doesn't mean that it can't be trusted. The story will still be true. Like the people falling out of the planes, sky diving. How can there be another side of the story, people fell out of planes that crashed, that's it.

What do you think of the impact of the blockbuster mentality on movies? Should profit always be the determining factor in producing movie content?
I believe the blockbuster mentality impacted the movie industry in a good way. The movie industry is not taking as much risk as they were in the past, they are making more formulaic movies. Instead they are using more special effects and looking to the future to make sequels.
I believe producing a movie should be based on profit. I believe this because if a company puts money into a movie and get nothing out of it, it was a big waste. Why would you make a movie that you know no one will watch it that just doesn't seem like a good idea.
