Our group will be discussing a situation involving TSN, a Canadian sports network, that displayed a tweet on their show saying that a Toronto Maple Leafs player was having an affair with a teammate’s wife. Many people blame the tweeter himself, while others including him blame TSN. We are not sure how we are going to interact with the class for our presentation yet. We will most likely use Prezi or Power Point.

I like the idea, but what exactly is the ethical issue–we need to see a bit more clearly. Once we ID, let us bring in other examples of this happening in news and we need the basis behind these decisions. Let’s research the history and reach out to the papers that do this to get some answers as to why! Make sure it’s not just an opinion piece. 🙂
