Take for example the recent case of Pai Hsiao-yen, which has raised moral issues about reporting. (Pai, the 18-year-old daughter of a TV celebrity, was kidnapped and murdered.) While the victim's fate was still unknown, the media was already following the victim's family. After the body was found, the incessant detailed reporting was inconsiderate to the privacy of the victim and her family.
就以最近引發新聞道德話題的「白曉燕案件」為例，人質仍在兇徒手中，新聞媒體大張旗鼓地盯哨；綁匪撕票一曝光，連續鉅幅報導、對行凶過程細描種種，是否顧及被害者的隱私權和受害者家屬；而社會大眾有無必要知道犯案、辦案的詳細過程等都十分值得檢討。
