Journalists are sometimes placed in a difficult and uncomfortable position when a news source offers them a gift, even an inexpensive one. That creates a conflict of interest because it may influence your coverage. Write about how you would handle such a situation if a source offered you a gift. For our example, you are a journalist at a local newspaper. There is a new coffee cafe that has opened in town, and they have sent you a big basket of coffee beans, 6 mugs, 12 valuable gift cards, and 24 pastries. Enclosed is a note from them, politely requesting you to write a favorable news report about them, and they hope their gift will lead you as a journalist to them. Should you accept the gift? Please state yes or no, and your reasoning (minimum 300 words).
