To air or not to air. . .

When is it okay to air or write potentially sensitive information?

As a journalist,one should always use discretion when coming forth with potentially sensitive information. The impact that releasing the information would have on the people involved should be taken in to consideration. I believe that if the information is critical to resolving a situation that it should be released.For example if a crime were committed and a description of the suspect was attained it should be released. Another reason why potentially sensitive information is okay to release is if it could prevent events of negative impacts from occurring or reoccurring.
