Sam Allardyce ‘sting’ is the latest chapter in a new era of investigative reporting
This article from the Independent looks at the whole ordeal with the ex England Manager Sam Allardyce. It looks more at whether it was ethical or not to use hidden cameras to uncover the truth and if its justifiable and in the public interest. Allardyce was caught but he wasn't doing anything illegal, however because the news was reporting on this ha had no choice but to resign from his position because of the power and attention the story had generated.
In my opinion i think that investigative journalism has to be done within boundaries, even if it does uncover horrible truths and corruption. If they have the freedom to investigate anyone at there own free will it could get personal and invade peoples privacy,but i do think it is an important part of society that we have mostly ungoverned bodies finding out the truth.
