July 30, 1997 at 7:15 p.m. Geri Alumit Michigan State University Ph.D. student [email protected] 2 LAWS & ETHICS BEHIND THE HIDDEN & INTRUSIVE CAMERA 2 Abstract Network news stations and newsmagazines use the hidden and intrusive camera to uncover mayhem not able to be uncovered without the use of these clandestine techniques. The courts have heard lawsuits against the media that claim these techniques intrude on or invade privacy. Two lawsuits brought against television newsmagazines, one involving the hidden camera, the other the intrusive, will explore the rights of the media and the rights of the individuals captured on tape. This paper will also examine and suggest guidelines for the use of these stealthy techniques to gather the news. 4 LAWS & ETHICS BEHIND THE HIDDEN & INTRUSIVE CAMERA 3 Introduction The hidden and intrusive cameras have been effective techniques to capture newsworthy information. The hidden camera never lets its targets know its recording. The intrusive camera doesn't let its targets know it's recording until they are ambushed for an interview or for just video. Primetime Live, a news magazine, owes an increased viewing audience and several journalistic awards to the use of these stealthy videotaping techniques. Senior producer of the show Ira Rosen (Chang, 1992) had this to say about the investigative tool: [Hidden camera footage] is the most evocative, interesting and informative way to tell the story. It grabs the readers by the lapels and shakes them and tells them to watch this. The use of these sexy techniques to gather news is also motivating debates on ethics. The journalist must lie in order to get to the truth. The target of an investigative story is deceived by the use of concealed or intrusive cameras. These techniques infringe upon the privacy rights of the individuals who are captured on tape. News programs and stations justify this infringement however, by bringing in the public's right to know the information captured on tape. Laws on the use of the hidden and intrusive camera vary from state-to-state and case-by-case. Little light has been shed on the legal issues posed by this "popular, but controversial technique" (Lissit, 1995). The purpose of this paper is to analyze the procedure, precedent and doctrine of two cases, one involving the use of the hidden camera and the other, a mix of the hidden and intrusive camera. This analysis will lead to a discussion of the privacy rights of individuals who believe they have been victimized by the use of these clandestine news gathering techniques. Using several lawsuits brought against the media and several misuses of these surreptious techniques, this analysis will also examine and present: "Guidelines for the using the hidden and intrusive camera." 5 LAWS & ETHICS BEHIND THE HIDDEN & INTRUSIVE CAMERA 4 Literature Review Television researchers have found that the more interesting the video on television news, the more interested the audience is in watching the news. Edwardson, Grooms and Proud love (1981) randomly assigned nearly 100 residents in Gainesville, Florida, to view one version of a newscast in their homes. After the newscast, they were asked to fill-out a questionnaire. Researchers found that across every demographic sub-group, the participants were not only more stimulated, but remembered more about the story when the story was delivered with exciting video rather than a shot of a talking head. Television news executives have been aware of the effect of engaging video on viewers for decades. Some television newsmagazines have capitalized on this notion with the use of hidden and intrusive cameras that provide the viewer with some racy, unforgettable video: Television newsmagazines have an insatiable hunger for the kind of documentation that looks good on screen. Palatial homes, incriminating memos, revealing audio tape these have always been the truffles of the producer on the hunt. But secretly recorded video, where the viewers see the action with their own eyes, may be the tastiest delicacy of all (Baker, 1993, p. 26.) Television newsmagazines have met with favor from their audience, but with fire from the individuals captured on tape. While the use of these stealthy techniques hasn't received all-out public criticism, it has raised some eyebrows about ethical issues in journalistic circles. Some could argue that these deceptive techniques are one more reason to institute independent news councils or panels that evaluate complaints against the media, in order to make the news media more ethically accountable. News councils, while successful in deterring journalistic wrongdoing in Canada and Britain (Pritchard, 1991), have been unsuccessful here in the U.S. (Brogan, 1985). A LAWS & ETHICS BEHIND THE HIDDEN & INTRUSIVE CAMERA 5 better non-legal alternative is the use of ethics codes to increase accountability. Ethics codes for journalists, covering a variety of issues, have been developing rapidly since the early 1970s (Christians, 1985-86). Several ethics codes for individual news organizations fail shortly after adoption, aren't read, or aren't enforced in many news organizations. Despite some of the failures of ethics codes, Boeyink (1994) believes if ethical standards are clear and top management at news organizations is committed to those ethical standards, then a code could enhance the social responsibility of a news media organization. This paper suggests some ethical standards that a committed news organization may refer to when they debate the use of the hidden or intrusive camera. 7 LAWS & ETHICS BEHIND THE HIDDEN & INTRUSIVE CAMERA 6 The Hidden Camera Its Use Primetime Live and other news outlets have used the hidden camera to capture juicy interviews and compelling video. Primetime Live's reports on televangelists, abusive day care centers and racial discrimination have won them national awards in journalism. They have used this secretive technique

  • Social Media and the Unyielding Flow of Cable News in the Age of Trump
    Social Media and the Unyielding Flow of Cable News in the Age of Trump Deborah L. Jaramillo, Boston University An early observation about television’s daily architecture warrants a reevaluation as new technologies and shifting viewing patterns call into question its relevance. For all the justified criticism, adaptation, and elaboration of Williams’ earliest description of flow, a return to the general concept helps us decode what is happening on cable news in the Trump era. The new routine on cable news generally revels in the sort of disruption instigated by political turmoil, scandal, a renewed investment in investigative reporting, and the decision of cable news producers to include and fixate on Trump’s Twitter feed. Information flow, Twitter flow, and programming flow live together now, sometimes uncomfortably. The key to flow on MSNBC, in particular, is the way that this new living arrangement moves not toward denouement and relaxation at the end of the programming day as broadcast flow does. The blow of each revelation snowballs so that flow is not just a sequence of possibly connected stories from dawn through midnight. I argue that the crux of flow on MSNBC is actually about memory and magnitude—not the resolution of but the accumulation of politically charged information, ​ ​ crises, and catastrophes across the day and, as we are seeing, across all days. Cable news has created a space where continuity, repetition, anticipation, and disruption commingle; the resulting atmosphere is ripe for continuous, live political catastrophe. Cable news relies on the relentless flow of time to frame its usefulness for viewers.

Presented by Anthony W.

Her patience and determination to ensure that my work be completed and on track have been incredibly generous. To my children, Nicholas and Juliette, for being the best kids through the busiest times of my school work who I’m sure were wondering, “Why is daddy always in the basement?” Your dad is done, and there’ll be a lot of time to play. And finally, I really want to thank my late dad, Bill Whaley. My school work and outlook on life wouldn’t be what they are, were it not for his persistence and insistence on going to school, and never-ending life-long learning.
