ABC and Food Lion: A Case Study Case Solution
A significant amount of unease has arisen regarding the methods that TV producers employ to gather information for some top TV programs. This Press Ethos Case centers around a particularly contentious technique: the determination of the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) to use hidden cameras and undercover companies to collect footage said to demonstrate the Food Lion supermarket chain was re-tagging meat so as to sell what might be spoiled meat as fresh. In addition, it investigates the motivations and sources of journalists, along with the novel tactic employed by the company Food Lion that it used in retaliation against the company ABC. This case explores compensations, notfor defamationbut for fraud, trespass, and breach of duty of (worker) faithfulness, on the part of undercover reporters who really got employment at Food Lion.
