In October, NBC News’ chief medical editor Dr. Nancy Snyderman violated a voluntary quarantine after a member of her crew reporting on Ebola in Liberia contracted the disease. Snyderman was seen in a car outside a restaurant in Princeton, New Jersey. After local news site Planet Princeton reported on the violation, the New Jersey Department of Health issued a mandatory quarantine for Snyderman. Snyderman released an apology statement trough NBC News. After her mandatory quarantine was over, NBC News said she would return to air in November, but she didn’t end up back on TV until December, prompting speculation she may be penalized for the breach of voluntary quarantine especially given her role as a medical professional. When she did return to NBC News on Dec. 3, she confessed “I stepped outside the boundaries of what I promised to do and what the public expected of me, and for that I’m sorry.” She also argued that “good people can make mistakes.” - See more at: http://www.imediaethics.org/top-10-media-ethics-issues-of-2014/#sthash.H5xfJJQN.dpuf
