Another possible conflict arises when scholars themselves become a subject of news reports, such as in protesting military involvement in politics or in participating in social movements. From being a disinterested third party, scholars become players themselves and they often complain that the reports are not fair. I feel that these kinds of situations cause the greatest problems and the greatest number of distortions.
還有可能產生衝突的地方是學術界基本上也是被報導的對象，例如參加反軍人干政、社會運動等，學者從原先不介入的第三者，成為被報導的對象，而學者常埋怨被報導不公平，覺得問題最多、被扭曲最多的地方也在此。
