Joe, a reporter for Main Street News, covered a campaign rally for Jiya Patel, who is running for county commissioner. While at the rally, he interviewed the candidate and some audience members as his research for the article. He then wrote an article describing the rally, the candidate’s platform, and the reasons her supporters believe that she is the best person for this job. When he finished, he turned his article in to his editor. As the editor reviews this story, he sees a public report on campaign donations and learns that Joe has made a sizeable contribution to Patel’s campaign.
What is the most ethical action for the editor to take?

a
edit the article that was written to make sure it is objective, then run it in tomorrow’s edition of the newspaper
b
explain to the reporter that the newspaper cannot run the story because of perceived bias based on donations, so the article is being reassigned
c
discuss the article with the reporter to better understand his affiliation with the candidate and his views on the upcoming local elections
d
ask a reporter who supports an opposing candidate to read and help edit the article to ensure there is no bias in the reporting

there are two central themes in  the miracle worker: that the human spirit can triumph over even the most daunting of disabilities and that a dedicated teacher can transform the lives of those with whom he or she comes into contact. these inspirational themes have long been personified in the widely known true-life relationship between helen keller and annie sullivan, but  the miracle worker  also dramatizes collateral issues that extend beyond the particular case. underlying helen’s process of learning basic principles of what annie terms “obedience” (decorum, etiquette, and hygiene), there are more universal lessons of self-governance—the inculcation of self-restraint instead of willfulness, the development of self-discipline instead of self-indulgence. only when these lessons have been mastered can helen begin to acquire language—which, annie says, “is to the mind more than light is to the eye.”

the correct answer would b,   to show that she was very influential in the democratic party.
