VNR's

I don't see an ethical problem with journalists using video news releases as long as they inform where they got their information and make sure the story is unbiased and newsworthy. I suppose that maybe VNR's could promote lazy journalism,but I agree with Laura's comment. Journalists are paid next to nothing and on top of that the job is stressful. With that combination I'm sure that it's hard to stay motivated. I don't see anything wrong with journalists using outside help as long as they make sure the VNR's are newsworthy and don't overuse them.
