ETHICS 101: A journalist should not reveal the identities of his or her sources of information. Maintaining trust with sources and protecting them from any backlash are primary concerns in pursuing a story. Mr. Clavio is a journalist, right?

REJOINDER: This principle applies to sources who request anonymity. We should also remember that it is NOT a journalist& #39;s duty to coordinate with any government agency as regards the latter& #39;s investigation.

REJOINDER 2: Take note that I used the word "identities," not names, of sources. Disclosing the hospital to the DOH makes it possible to trace Mr. Clavio& #39;s sources. This is what makes the action unethical. Why cooperate with government when media should report to the public?
