Understand the importance of ethics in writing

The next section on reading is on ethics. As a writer it is important to write a true story so readers will respect you and believe your writing is a true account of events that has occurred. The reading discusses writing true and how the writer should reveal their story and tell it how it is rather than change details. Ethics of writing deals with truth, exaggeration, elaborating, and collapsing time. When it comes to writing you must be aware of what the law says which is different from the ethics. When writing you always need to be cautious of a potential lawsuit resulting if something they write that defames someone's character if it is untrue.

Ethics will be an important factor to keep in mind when working on the feature pieces. Though my topic will be on celiac disease, I do not want to misinform readers about the disease or mess up any information in interviews. This will take away from my credit as a writer, and could hard readers and people involved in my written work.
