Undercover journalism is a form of journalism in which a reporter tries to infiltrate in a community by posing as somebody friendly to that community. Journalists who are famous for their undercover reports include: *Hunter S. Thompson *Donal MacIntyre *Alex Dolan *Nellie Bly *Pam Zekman *Anas Aremeyaw Anas *Matt Taibbi *Günter Wallraff *''60 Minutes'' and ''Dateline NBC'' correspondents *Barbara Ehrenreich (''Nickel and Dimed'') *Carmelo Abbate ==Role== The role of undercover journalism has become the topic of much debate as moral and ethical lines have been crossed. The nine elements of journalism as outlined in a book by Bill Kovach and Tom Rosenstiel are as follows: # Journalism's first obligation is to tell the truth. # Its first loyalty is to the citizens. # Its essence is discipline of verification. # Its practitioners must maintain an independence from those they cover. # It must serve as an independent monitor of power. # It must provide a forum for public criticism and compromise. # It must strive to make the news significant, interesting, and relevant. # It must keep the news comprehensive and proportional. # Its practitioners must be allowed to exercise their personal conscience. As reporters have gone undercover some of these guidelines have been bent and broken in order to uphold others on the list. Undercover reporting has brought to light numerous atrocities throughout history, yet often these reporters sacrifice ethical and moral code in the process.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title = Brooke Kroeger on James O’Keefe and Undercover Reporting: A CJR Podcast ) 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Undercover journalism」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
