Answer:
Option D. The following is not an example of public service journalism: reporters reading facts and figures about Hurricane Katrina casualties.
Explanation:
Public service journalism is a kind of reporting in which journalists acts as advocates of the public while they also do investigative reporting in an attempt to uncover information that might be helpful or that might prevent exploitation of the public and/or any individual. In the Hurricane Katrina scenario, public service journalism was an essential and much needed player as not only was going to act as an advocate for every victim of the hurricane, but also it would have the journalists trying to find information about how the government acted on such a hard moment for the community. Some examples of what public service journalists had to do during that time would be reporters asking pointed questions about the government's response after hurricane Katrina, reporters interviewing Hurricane Katrina survivors, and reporters doing live broadcasts of rescues in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Although the number of casualties from the Hurricane is an important element in an investigation, a public service journalist would not consider a priority during that moment to read facts and figures about the Hurricane's casualties, as it is much more important for the journalist to broadcast the live aftermath of the situation and to help any survivor that might be in need.
