Bead the scenario.
construction company reaches out to a local
ewspaper with news that it will be expanding its
usiness in the near future. The company promises to
share more specific information exclusively with the
newspaper in exchange for the newspaper running free
advertisements for the company.
What are the most ethical decisions for the newspaper
to make in this situation? Select two options.
tell the company that they cannot give out free ads, but
offer a discount
confirm the company's expansion through other
sources before reporting it
accept the deal, since the company has been a loyal
advertiser for years
be completely transparent in reporting about the
company's attempt to trade favors
contact other construction companies to tell them
about the situation
