Summary:

Ricky has always dreamed of being a journalist and having his name attached to a big story, but the reality of the job is not like anything he expected. He loves his job as a sports reporter at the Easton Times, but his latest assignment has elevated his stress level significantly. Last week, before a big game, a local football coach used a racial slur during his pregame speech, which was captured on video and posted to social media. With the community in uproar, the Easton Times has yet to report on it--though Ricky's editor plans for that to change. To complicate matters, Ricky is good friends with the coach, and the coach asks Ricky to not write the story and has avoided discussing the topic with Ricky. Through this case, students will be asked to examine the difficulties of conflicts of interest and determine how to maintain personal relationships while still observing professional responsibilities.
