Ratings vs. Journalism: Going Live with Breaking News

When Daniel Jones ignited his truck on the Los Angeles freeway, adult and child audiences saw what turned out to be a gruesome suicide, live and in color. Can real-time coverage of such spectacles truly be called journalism? In this program, ABC News correspondent John Donvan reprises the incident, after which anchor Chris Wallace, the director of the Project for Excellence in Journalism, and two TV news directors debate the responsibility of the news media, the qualities of good editorial judgment in a "go live" world, and the role of the ratings race in news coverage. (20 minutes)
