No one really goes along the lines of "Duty of care" anymore. Its only business and business for everyone

A lot of our lazy journalists copy and paste from facebook pages, so maybe we all have a duty of care as to what we put on the internet.

That was a joke.

The media do have a duty of care, I'm sure there's something to that effect in their code of conduct clauses.

Here we go, have a squizzy.

AJA CODE OF ETHICS

I wonder about the care part and the media now. Have you not noticed how they inhumanly, heartlessly, bluntly and inconsiderately question the victims, or if an accident occurs and someone dies, how they question their families how are they feeling knowing their lpved ones are dead......what sort of question is this? not thinking twice in what frame of mind the person infront of you maybe with their loss. Just for the sake of grabbing first hand news material. . . . its amazing
