A "Person of Interest" versus A "Suspect"
The bases for Richard Jewell's suit against NBC were the following sentences from Tom Brokaw: "Look, they probably got enough to arrest him. They probably have got enough to try him." Mr. Brokaw finished his on-air commentary by adding, "Everyone, please understand absolutely he is only the focus of this investigation-he is not even a suspect yet."
Decide whether Jewell was defamed by the remarks. Discuss whether Mr. Brokaw was fair to Mr. Jewell. What do we learn about the ethical responsibilities of journalists from this example? Sadly, in 2007, Mr. Jewell passed away from a heart attack at the age of 44.
