“I’m i going to include it or shelve it?”
Handling damaging information is not easy and this is just one of the most critical or sensitive decisions every writer should made. And as an essay writer it’s normal to have this kind of questions in your mind: “Am I including this information to benefit my career or to inform the public?”. You are the only one who can answer this question. You have to think the possible output or consequences of your action which might affect you career or love ones.Some writers include false information to attract readers. Just make sure you have enough evidence to prove it.

Hi Matt
I agree that the important thing is to have your own criteria and benchmarks.

You have to be true to yourself as Lillie said.

Thanks, all. Yes, there is a tendency with some to try to “scoop the news” without verifying all sources. Unfortunately, the gossip rags aren’t the only ones guilty, some of the more reputable print dailies have been caught too.

Very well put Matt & Lillie. Leave the damaging stuff to the gossip rags unless you can be pretty darn sure.

There could very well be two livelihoods at stake if it’s wrong.

Matt,
Staying true to your personal ethics is essential to your reputation … and to being able to sleep well at night. You did the right thing – if the information can’t be reliably verified, including it in your article is gossip, not reporting.
