Metal Hiv And Aids Pins To Buy

question

Inspired by a meeting with reporters CIS and the U.S. would like to talk with fellow journalists about what the issue here:

Can we assume to be normal when a journalist or editorial buys from informants Plums and sensation?

As one German expert, reporters should not pay for information, as it implies the emergence of "black market" fakes. On the one hand, he's right. A good example is the case with the magazine "Stern", bought for $ 9 million secret diaries of Hitler, which turned out later forgery.

But on the other hand, if a journalist does not simply publish the information, and conducts an investigation, checks the data, you can get a great sensation. Once at a lecture by a German professor told me about an interesting scandal.

In the well-known German newspaper came Fellow "Lufthansa" and suggested buy it for 400 thousand euro information about the deputies, who used in official missions flown "miles" for private travel. The informant explained, that the company has two days to figure out that the leak occurred due to his fault, and the money it is just enough for it to weather the jobless period. The newspaper agreed to take a chance, but by buying the information immediately it is not published, and conducted its own investigation. Journalists telephoned deputies and asked them where they were at certain times and if it was private travel. All confirmed.
