staged journalism

I think it's a shame that people resort to staging photos or video because they can't get to the scene on time or because they don't feel that what they got on tape was exciting enough. The author was right when he said it makes the subject uncomfortable. I think some people are uncomfortable enough, just being on camera. I really can't say much else about the subject because the article was so short...

But it is something that all journalists should be very cautious of, I believe it can become a slippery-slope.
