So, there's this news article - I just saw the headline, because I really didn't want to click through an encourage this kind of journalism... something about a new beauty queen being a "child of rape".
1. I really hope she cleared this with her mother before she put this out on the news - I mean, this is strictly my opinion, but I don't think that this is really her story to tell. If her mother wanted to come out with it, sure, but still... ick.
2. Why on earth would you put this on your resume to begin with? It's not a skill like underwater basketweaving, or a personal characteristic like left-handedness.
3. As a journalist, what would make you think that this was the right lead to the story - enough so that you put it in the headline?
4. What do you want the world to do with the information? (Other than feel pity for your mother?)
So many questions - but I'm still not going to click on the story.
