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.
