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.

  1. Not only that, but it can spread distrust toward the people who gave them the story, because, after all, they were bribed to give them the story. It makes the survivors look bad and very greedy in general.
