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.
