“The hardest choices are not between good and bad. They are between differing outcomes which appear to have equal merit."
A common problem in society today is figuring out what people need to know and what should be left untold. You have the right to privacy, if you would prefer your name not to be published, or your story not to be printed then it shouldn’t be. Yes, people should be informed by the happenings in the world but sometimes they don’t need to know all the details. I do think that if it is a big story, then sure write an article about it but leave out names or give a general area of where it took place, rather then the exact address. Just being aware of the personal information that is printed could greatly improve the reader’s response. As some people read the newspaper they like to know of everything that is going on, every single detail but what’s a little less information going to do. You will be protecting the people that you aren’t mentioning in your articles and the readers will still get the story. You obviously want to write something that your readers will be happy with, but you also must listen to what the people involved in the story think, because remember they are readers too.
