Dave Wertheimer's post about staging was short and to the point. I completely agree with Wertheimer's ethical stance on staging. It isn't reporting the news. However, I also know the temptation of wanting to get something done for a class when you have other work to do. In many ways, I think being a student journalist is a lot harder than being a full-time journalist.
Wertheimer's best advice is to ask subjects to show him how they do something. This is a effective and legitimate way to give viewers information, while not reenacting the news.
