In US news and current events today, e-commerce giant Amazon, owned by Jeff Bezos, has been under fire for their treatment of Amazon workers health and safety during the Coronavirus pandemic.

As COVID-19 spreads throughout Amazon warehouses, employees have fallen sick and even died. Yet, when doing a little PR damage control, Amazon sent out a script and b-roll package to local news stations, many of whom ran the segment without acknowledging it was essentially Amazon propaganda. In an era where journalists are attacked by President Donald Trump and the entire journalism and media industry is in grave danger, it's alarming that the entire journalism ethics process can be impacted by corporate PR.
